Isodyne’s tool-less termination benefits begin at assembly, requiring approximately 30% less time for assembly and a cable assembly that performs better at shielding EMI because of lower resistance between the drain wires, overbraid and backshell. Re-entry for re-pinning or repair is easy thanks to both individual shields and overbraid terminating at the backshell with one spring band. This efficient technology offers many other benefits over analog legacy products, making it more suitable for today’s highly digitized world: no tools are required for assembly or disassembly; no solder sleeves are required; a reduced component count and reduced weight; a faster assembly time; and better EMI performance.

NASA is funding development of the instrument, which will observe ultraviolet emissions from the Jovian system. “The JUICE mission will let UVS get closeup views of Europa, Ganymede and Callisto [Jupiter’s three largest moons],” said Dr Randy Gladstone, principal investigator of the UVS (ultraviolet spectrograph) and an Institute scientist in SwRI’s Space Science and Engineering Division. “We expect these data will tell us about the composition of the surfaces and the tenuous atmospheres of the Galilean moons, and how they interact with Jupiter and its giant magnetosphere.” Along with UVS, JUICE will carry 10 complementary instruments designed to make detailed observations of the giant gas planet Jupiter and its three largest moons, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto. These moons are believed to host bodies of liquid water beneath their icy surfaces. JUICE observations could provide insight into the moons’ potential for supporting life during future manned missions. The instruments will also map the moons’ surfaces, sound their interiors and determine the potential for life in their oceans. The JUICE spacecraft is planned for launch in 2022. The three-year (minimum) science mission will begin shortly after the spacecraft’s arrival at Jupiter in 2030.

The satellite deployed its solar arrays on schedule following its launch aboard an Ariane 5 launch vehicle provided by Arianespace from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The satellite has begun firing its main thruster to complete its journey to geostationary orbit. “It has been a privilege to work closely with our colleagues at HISPASAT and to see the successful launch of this important satellite,” said John Celli, President of SSL. “I would like to thank everyone at HISPASAT, Arianespace and SSL for their hard work and dedication to making this satellite program a success.” Amazonas 3 is a multi-mission satellite that includes the first Ka-band payload for broadband service in Latin America. Visit Space Systems/Loral at Booth 3038.1 New 2,000hz multi-axis vibration system Commercially available vibration test systems with the ability to reproduce and accurately control multiple-input, multiple-output vibration tests are often constrained by a limited frequency band. Excessive tare mass and low natural frequencies of test fixtures are two contributing factors. Consequently, the use of such systems in Department of Defense and spacecraft test facilities is limited to a select number of test profiles found in MIL STD documents and/or platform-specific tests with the frequency band of interest below 500Hz. These constraint issues have now been addressed with the introduction of a new 2,000Hz, multi-axis vibration system. The Tensor 18kN utilizes 12 custom electrodynamic shakers which are hydrostatically coupled to the 30 inch square specimen mounting table, and supported by an air-isolated, highly damped reaction mass. Each armature is preloaded against the mounting table for proper operation. Incorporated into the vertical axis is a soft-spring, large static capacity preload actuator, which is required to retain the table against the preload mechanisms. Utilizing multiple points of control authority in conjunction with Coordinate Transformation control methodology, the Tensor 18kN produces excellent performance to 2,000Hz. This unique oil-cooled electrohydraulic system has been designed, built, tested and delivered by Team Corporation.

Now Vibration Research has developed a method that allows the test engineer to manually track the phase value in order to determine the maximum transmissibility value at a particular resonance. This method is Advanced UserDefined SRTD Phase-Tracking Control. The results indicate that the test engineer ought to manually control the SRTD phase tracking in order to find the most accurate location for the peak transmissibility of a resonance. In order to obtain a phase of the resonance that will provide the highest possible transmissibility level for that resonance, the test engineer should use a manual control feature to “tweak” the phase as necessary in order to obtain the highest possible transmissibility level for that resonance. This will serve as an improvement over the traditional “phasetracking” tool or the “resonant frequencytracking” method.

EMCCons offers testing for direct and indirect lightning effects. Not just the electrical parts are tested for direct lightning effects, but also CFC (carbon fiber-reinforced composite) parts. Navigation systems, radar equipment and other parts that could interfere with other air and space traffic are tested for electromagnetic stability, to ensure they do not disturb other parts, or are disturbed by other parts. Additionally, high-tech electrical parts within spacecraft can interfere with each other; EMC tests must be performed to ensure that all parts – from the smallest switches and sensors up to complete cable harnesses – are sufficiently hardened electromagnetically. Important tests offered by EMCCons to address these risks include: NEMP (nuclear electromagnetic pulse), EMP (electromagnetic pulse), LEMP (lightning electromagnetic pulse), HIRF (high-intensity radiated fields), HERF (high-electric radiated fields) and indirect and direct lightning stroke tests. Visit EMCCons at Booth 7038 Training for space “Humans manage tasks more successfully in familiar settings. Translation: substantial experience in an environment equals effective performance. For space crews especially, it’s the difference between life and death. Equally important, microgravity training prepares space travelers for physical reactions. If not prepared for your own physical needs, you can’t fly the spaceship, run the experiment and enjoy the rare view. “Living in a 1g environment, humans don’t know how to move in microgravity. The common reaction, swimming and kicking when floating, proves hazardous and will damage craft and hurt others. Practical experience in microgravity and controlling one’s locomotion reduces stress so you can focus on floating, working, and having fun. “For these reasons and more, it is essential to eliminate as many unknowns as possible so all aboard may focus on their objective – safe and successful space flight.” Astronaut Dr Byron Lichtenberg, ScD, was the first astronaut to serve as a Payload Specialist. He has flown 310 orbits, and logged 468 hours in space, which means he is well placed to understand the need for astronaut training prior to space flight. “As a two-mission shuttle astronaut, I can confirm it is crucial to have Zero-G training before going into space. NASA has recognized this for 50 years. This unique environment challenges you to manage tasks, physical/ mental stresses and locomotion.

Currently under development, this new technology will enable fabrication of a force/torque sensor for the Mars rover’s robotic arm. Sensor feedback would allow the arm to guide its coring tool into rocks and then safely place the rock samples in the rover’s canisters. Not limited to space exploration, this new multi-axis force/torque sensing technology could be used for a large variety of applications. Future products will be enhanced to withstand high acceleration, ultra-high vacuum, heat sterilization or other severe environments such as extreme cold and heat. “This project for NASA will give us the technology to stay on the cutting edge,” said Robert Little, COO, ATI Industrial Automation. Visit ATI Industrial Automation at Booth 1125 Solid hydrogen fuel could help shield satellites from radiation UK firm Cella Energy, a spinout of the government-funded Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, developed the material by combining solid hydrogen compounds with plastic fibers as a way of storing and transporting it more easily for use as fuel. The researchers believe the material could make an effective radiation shield for satellite electronics because it absorbs high-energy radiation and is less likely than current aluminum shields to generate secondary particles that can disrupt equipment. “NASA is looking at high-hydrogen content materials as their shields,” said Prof Stephen Bennington, Cella Energy’s Chief Scientific Officer and the inventor of the material. “On the International Space Station, all the sleeping quarters have ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene slabs. The amount of hydrogen in our material is, by weight, 30 to 40% higher.” The Cella Energy team are now preparing to test their material onboard the ISS by the end of the year, after winning a competition run by the US state funding body Space Florida. The material is currently undergoing even more rigorous testing by NASA in advance of the trial onboard the ISS, where it will be used to encase a miniaturized radiation monitor based on technology developed by CERN for the Large Hadron Collider, and compared to a second monitor inside a polyethylene shield.
