SpacePath Communications has completed a significant milestone with the first shipment of its new outdoor, high-power, travelling wave tube amplifiers for a major European SATCOM project. As part of a multi-stage contract, SpacePath has successfully shipped the first batch of its new outdoor, Ka-band TWT amplifiers (TWTA) to a leading European system integrator. SpacePath's TWT amplifiers were chosen for their compact size and lightweight design. Operating at up to 31GHz, the amplifiers provide ultra-linear performance and efficiency, and incorporate an innovative carbon-based air-cooling structure which is half the weight of copper yet possesses similar thermal properties. Colin Bolton, director and co-founder, SpacePath Communications, said: "We're delighted to have reached this milestone with the first stage delivery of our new family of high-power, high frequency amplifiers. "It also represents a significant endorsement of a new uplink amplifier design which benefits from many R and D firsts, including removable air filters for easy maintenance, front-panel monitoring and unique air-cooling structure. "Together with the many other user-driven features, their overall design embodies the first significant technology step-change in TWTA development for decades. We look forward to supporting the next stage of this SATCOM project." SpacePath's high performance uplink amplifiers cover all mission-critical segments including satellite newsgathering (DSNG), flyaway or truck-based systems, fixed-earth stations and military satellite communications.
Computer from RUAG Space controls environmental satellite Sentinel-6 Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) Oct 30, 2020 Over the last five years the global ocean has risen, on average, 4.8 mm a year. With millions of people around the world at risk from rising seas, it is essential to continue measuring the changing height of the sea surface. Crucial data will be delivered by the Sentinel-6 environmental satellite, which will measure sea level heights. The launch is scheduled for November 10, 2020 from the Vandenberg launchsite in California, USA, aboard a Falcon-9 rocket. "Key products from us make this important ... read more
