Experience
Our experience covers all aspects of spacecraft, avionics, and EGSE. For the NASA EO-1 program, Electrical Systems provided the key electrical systems role that covered the entire life cycle of the program—from conception, through launch, and into on-orbit operations support. For the HOST HST mission, Electrical Systems was responsible for the flight computer and electrical systems needs of the program resulting in a successful flight on-board the Space Shuttle. Electrical Systems has been responsible for supporting or developing several NASA Hitchhiker payloads including CRYO TSU, CRYO FD/ALPHA, and LMTE. Other program experience includes
- HST Solid-State Recorder
- GOES
- NEMO
- Triana
- FUSE
- TRMM
- EOS PM (Aqua)
- EOS Chem (Aura)
- SMEX-Lite Testbed
Electrical Systems has delivered hardware to NASA, NRL, and commercial clients. Fully qualified electrical systems for flight programs include
- FUSE mirror actuator controller
- HOST HST data acquisition and control system
- ALPHA Hitchhiker data acquisition and control system
- Flight harnesses for the EO-1 spacecraft and VCL instrument
- FUSE and Hyperion Instrument Harness
- HST NICMOS Instrument Cryo Cooler Electronics Support Module (ESM)
