Everybody knows the Monopoly card “a failure of the bank to your advantage, you receive…..” An error that occurred during the vibration testing of our BiSon74-ET-RH sensors feels a bit like that. Although the sensors were programmed to be tested to very significant levels (1g^2/Hz totalling 38.9g) it has now been confirmed that there was [...]
Today we finished pyroshock testing at the ISISpace THOR facility. THOR stands for Testing Hammer for extraOrdinary Rough environments. These tests were performed in frame of an ARTES 5.2 program called ITAR free extended temperature sunsensor. 3 BiSon74ET-RH sensors with two different builds were tested. These sensors went through thermal cycling and vibration testing before. In frame of [...]
Designed in frame of the Artes 5.2 program ITAR free extended temperature fine sunsensor and intended to be the first small fine sunsensor to be capable of surviving the temperature excursions and radiation exposure experienced when mounted on extendable solar panels of geostationary telecom satellites, The BiSon74-ET-RH is intended to be a unique sensor, providing [...]
