Our commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) data acquisition, video, and transmission products combine the cost savings of commercial designs with innovative radiation-tolerant strategies to deliver trusted systems at up to 75% lower cost than custom designs. Reduce size, weight, and power (SWaP) demands with custom modules that eliminate the need for separate avionics boxes and allow for efficient management of power budgets. Our space COTS and Smart Backplane products have been proven on multiple space applications, including EASA Vega-C, NASA Orion SLS & CRV, Boeing CST-100 Starliner, SpaceX Falcon 9 and Dragon, ESA IXV, and ULA Delta V.

Radiation mitigation in space: A COTS approach
When it comes to space vehicle design, whether it is a launcher, a re-entry vehicle, or a satellite, the tolerance of onboard electronics to radiation effects becomes one of the most challenging aspects. As the risk of equipment failure due to the radiation effects increases with the altitude and flight duration, the tolerance to radiation effects becomes the crucial criteria for selecting the onboard equipment and sub-systems. Read our white paper to learn more about the COTS approach to radiation mitigation.
Successful Integration of a Launcher Video Telemetry System Using COTS Equipment
A launcher video telemetry system (LVTS) was required to provide the onboard live video telemetry. The solution needed to meet a number of difficult challenges, including a harsh environment, a tight budget, short schedule, and the need for system flexibility.
