:: Experience & Expertise :: Our dedicated laboratory facilities include the following testing equipment. We are in the process of setting up and building our Integration and Test Facility. At this time we have these items in house and are working to become operational in the near future.
We have participated in a wide range of projects, including... HDMAXWe are currently working with researchers from Florida Atlantic University to develop a high-resolution camera system for operation on the International Space Station (ISS). The QuadHD camera head has four times the resolution of HDTV and will allow astronauts to store up to 30 minutes of exceptionally high quality imagery in digital formats. The Space Digital Cinema camera system will also be able to download standard HDTV content to Earth. VISNAV, a project responsible for the design of non-contact opto-electronic sensors used primarily for docking and rendezvous operations of spacecraft and for landing/takeoff and in-flight refueling of aircraft. StarNav I, a prototype of an advanced star-tracker technology designed, fabricated, assembled and tested at the STC. This payload flew on STS-107 and functioned as designed, successfully downloading data validating patented algorithms and other advanced features. Website Khalstar, an enhanced star-tracker development program funded through the Space Dynamics Lab and part of NASA's Geostationary Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (GIFTS) program to study weather in Earth's atmosphere. Khalstar Website Commercial Imager/Broadband Antenna Experiment (COMIMG/BAE) , development of a proposed commercial advanced hyperspectral imagery capability operating from external pallet locations on the ISS. The imager is integrated with an advanced phased array antenna technology demonstration payload to enable high-resolution data files to be transmitted directly from the ISS to ground stations. Wireless Cable Replacement for the ISS (WCRISS), research and enhancement of commercially available wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 for use aboard the International Space Station and other space environments. Microencapsulation Electrostatic Process System (MEPS) is an automated apparatus designed to form the microcapsules that may be used in a special type of chemotherapy for treatment of large solid tumors. These capsules are formed in microgravity and the process is studied to aid in the development of a system and technique for developing the capsules on earth. The space hardware for this experiment was flown on STS-95 and flew on STS 111 and samples were returned to earth on flight 9a. The test facility remains on orbit on the ISS. |
