Tackling the challenges of new space flights with traceable, innovative solutions

TT Electronics has introduced its New Space Electronics range. Higher volume satellite constellations in low Earth orbit are driving a requirement for increasingly cost-effective components. The company offers a solution that delivers reduced screening but is fully traceable, with proven space grade heritage. While deep space exploration requires component survivability for 20 years or more in the harshest of environments, the higher volume satellite constellations in low Earth orbit are driving a requirement for cost-effective components destined for operational use over just three to four years in more benign conditions. As part of mission licensing, the space agencies sanctioning the launches demand to know the components will work after this time to assure appropriate deorbiting and decommissioning of the satellites, and that no space debris is left in the atmosphere. The company’s New Space Electronics comes in as a solution that delivers cost-effective screening using fully traceable and space-proven die. The company's new range offers recognisable discrete components alongside standard multi-chip array configurations.
