The SafeLaunch-FTR is based on more than 20 years of skills and experience. Such Flight Termination Receivers equip air to air, ground to air and air to ground missiles as well as UAV, target drones and Launch Vehicles. They are qualified under MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E standards, and comply to RCC-319. The compact and optimized package is consistent in size and weight with the most severe requirements of missile platforms. The electronical design, based on the latest generation of Software Defined Radio (SDR) components, brings to SafeLaunch-FTR high reliabilty and evolutivity.
The PPS®5000, produced by Safran Spacecraft Propulsion, is a Hall Effect Thruster purposely designed for “all-electric” satellites. It can operate in high-thrust or high specific impulse mode,and offers an operating lifespan of about 20,000 hours. This means it can handle orbital positioning and station-keeping duties for a wide range of telecom and navigation satellites, as well as exploration spacecraft. The PPS®5000 was fully qualified in 2021.
ARES (formerly IRIS) from Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (formerly Safran Data Systems, Inc.) represents the next-gen in transportable antenna systems. Packed in portable cases for easy handling, ARES can be shipped using standard methods and be fully operational in under an hour in the field, standing by to support satellites. Utilizing a reliable pedestal design and a dual-band concentric feed, ARES antenna ensures pinpoint accuracy and top-notch antenna performance. Crafted from standard (LRU) parts, it’s a breeze to maintain and service on-site, guaranteeing maximum uptime for all satellite missions. Combined with the SATCORE combo box (Command/Control modem & high-rate receiver) and the TM MAESTRO Monitoring & Control software, ARES is the all-in-one portable satellite tracking system.
The SPARTE 700 series is a top-tier dual-axis antenna that boasts dish sizes ranging from 20 to 24 feet.
