Aitech Defense Systems Inc., the world’s aboriginal and better absolute architect of accessible architectonics cyberbanking boards and subsystem akin articles for acrid aerospace applications has been called to accommodate two key anchored processing apparatus for the Ares I Launch Vehicle’s Instrument Unit Avionics (IUA) Flight Computer (FC) and Command Telemetry Computer (CTC) systems beneath a arrangement to Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.
As a long-standing, able supplier of cyberbanking accretion accessories for US animal spaceflight programs from the Space Shuttle to the International Space Station, Aitech is certified for manned amplitude flight area advancement basal out-gassing is acute on these types of mission-critical flights.
Aitech’s next-generation S950 individual axle computer (SBC) and new S750 PCI balustrade agenda (PMC) will be acclimated in a triple-redundant agreement to accommodate flight ascendancy back-up in the IUA FC function. The new S950 SBC offers a faster 1 GHz processing engine and an access of added than 20% in achievement than the antecedent version. The soon-to-be-released Aitech S750 four-port Gigabit Ethernet PMC, hosted on the S950 SBC as a single-slot CompactPCI (cPCI) agenda set, will broadcast accelerated imaging abstracts to the aggregation analysis vehicle’s (CEV) solid accompaniment recorder and arena abutment system.
Ball Aerospace ARES IAU affairs manager, Randall Coffey said, "Using Aitech's apparatus has accustomed the affairs to advanced several notches up the technology calibration and will save cogent amounts of development costs. These are two actual important aspects of space-related programs.”
Roger Rowe, Aitech's President and CEO stated, "Providing NASA with reliable articles to advice advanced mission-critical amplitude programs is what Aitech has done with abundant success for over 25 years. Quality after accommodation is axiological to our artefact development.”
As with a lot of of Aitech’s products, both radiation-tolerant cards are optimized for a advanced array of applications in low and top apple apogee amplitude cars such as flight computer and control, engine ascendancy and rocket staging, automatic architect ascendancy and apparatus interface units. The cards are aswell acclimated in command and telemetry control, attitude and agitation control, burden control, solar arrangement and directional ascendancy as able-bodied as solar arrangement drive electronics (SADE). Aitech’s articles always accommodate the accomplished on-board functionality, widest temperature ambit and everyman ability burning for mission-critical acrid ambiance and amplitude applications.
The Ares I aboriginal date car booster launches the Orion CEV, which will accompany added elements of NASA’s Constellation affairs to actuate astronauts to the moon – and above – by 2020. The IUA FC and CTC accommodate the guidance, aeronautics and ascendancy accouterments for the new Ares I aggregation barrage vehicle, confined as the vehicle’s ascendancy subsystem during the rocket’s ascendance to orbit.
