Can you tell us a little bit about your background and about U-Space? Why did you choose to get into the development of nanosatellites?I graduated from the engineering school Isae Supaero in Toulouse, France. During this period, I had...
However, sometimes the Sun generates solar superstorms. A superstorm is a CME and can contain billions of tons of magnetic plasma that travels the 150 million kilometre distance between the Sun and Earth in a day or more. Once...
Would you characterise your solution software, hardware or a hybrid? Why is that?ZES’s solutions include hardware, service and IP. The combination of the three provides the ‘turn-key’ solution for ZES’ customers to comprehensively enable their COTS-based satellite systems and/or...
Experiments have shown that there is a critical threshold energy deposited from an incident ion or proton is needed to trigger a SEE.For protons, this energy deposition usually takes place through nuclear interactions which result in recoil ions that...
What orbits are your missions most focused on? Small satellite missions are usually launched into LEO orbits at altitudes of between 400 and 650 km. That is also the case of our missions to date. These altitudes offer a better...
I get the question about our name so much – and I love to answer it every time! Back in the day, engineers at NASA used to make plots that would tell them how much fuel a trip to...
Displacement damage refers to the structural damage imparted on the crystal lattice of the device by highly-energetic particles. This essentially involves the creation of crystal imperfections such as lattice atoms displaced to new defect locations and vacant lattice sites....
In terms of radiation protection, how are your products shielded? What orbits are they designed for?OCE’s rad-hard SOCs are rad-hard by both design and fabrication process. Our rad-hard design includes triple-multiple-redundancy (TMR) on all on-chip registers, error detection and...
Can you tell us a little bit about the background of Hyperion Technologies B.V. ? Why did you choose to get into the development of the components for small spacecraft?
Back when we started, we noticed a lack of precision...
