The RMM Manager utility software offers convenient, user-friendly pre-mission or post-mission access to SC1450-series Removable Memory Modules (RMM) for use with VS-Series video & data recorder/server, in PC/Windows® environment.

Acquire high quality images with accurate radiometry for LEO (Low Earth Observation) earth observation applications with 65 MP focal plane and control electronics. From a 500 km orbit, SEEING™ 230 Ident has 9 x 6 km2 swath, offering a 1.03m native Ground Sample Distance (GSD), and features a super-resolution optional mode providing 70cm GSD. Thanks to its unique design, SEEING™ 230 Ident has an ultra-low SWaP factor. It is made of advanced ceramic material for strength during launch and stability during operation in space. It is athermalized and gradient insensitive between -10°C to +50°C. It has a low mass, below 8kg, saving both platform and launch costs.

The SPARTE 900 series antenna stands as a testament to reliability and performance, tailored for mission-critical applications where telemetry reception is paramount. This field-proven product ensures accurate tracking of flying targets, such as aircraft or space launch vehicles, even at significant distances, thanks to its high gain and large aperture design.
The robust and durable construction of the SPARTE 900 series guarantees optimal performance in any scenario: an aluminum-alloy reflector for enhanced surface accuracy, SCM tracking feeds for dependable and precise tracking, and dual-drive motors for redundancy and no-backlash operation.
Additionally, the SPARTE 900 series comes equipped with a riser that integrates the Antenna Drive cabinet and any necessary equipment, allowing for optimal positioning in close proximity to the antenna.

The LEGION 400 tackles the new challenges of the space industry, offering enhanced connectivity, faster delivery, improved value, and unrivaled flexibility.
This antenna system is designed to meet the demands of Earth Observation satellite tracking and the high-volume needs of Communication Satellite Constellations.
What sets the LEGION 400 apart is its patented tri-band S/X/Ka concentric feed paired with a sleek and ultra-precise pedestal. It’s equipped to support LEOP & Launch Vehicles with its cutting-edge S-band Single Channel Monopulse auto track feed.

The VS1410 is a video & data recorder/server packaged in a rugged compact chassis (3.75” x 5.75” x 7.36” / 6.4 lb), for recording on a Removable Memory Module (RMM).
Recorded data can be replayed in a standard PC/Windows® environment, using specific or COTS mission debrief solutions for post mission analysis. In addition, typically for ISR applications, data can be replayed while recording on board.
The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units offer cost-effective and dependable solutions for acquiring, processing, storing, exploiting, and disseminating field and mission data.
These units are suitable for both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles. They undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, adhering to standard test methods such as DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.

The N-SPHERE comes as a new generation of GNSS receiver. It implements the latest state-of-the-art positioning and synchronization techniques, to reach top class of performances for Real-Time Precise Onboard Orbit Determination (P2OD) and accurate time synchronization.

Sensors acquisition and recording for troubleshooting is a cumbersome process in a fully furnished or operational aircraft, especially when time and low footprint are key drivers.
This is no more the case with Safran new solution µMA:
- its cylindrical form factor allows easy installation by just requiring a standard clamp used to mount tubes
- its battery power supply and its wireless connectivity removes the need of installing any harness in the aircraft.
All these capabilities are available while providing high measuring performance and harsh environment ruggedized in line with Safran standard solutions.

The CORTEX RTR-X1 (formerly RX-1) is a compact, dual-channel telemetry receiver with a pre-D combiner, designed to span all IRIG frequency bands and conform to IRIG-specified modulations.
This off-the-shelf (COTS) product leverages the rock-solid CORTEX RTR technology components, inheriting their renowned RF performance and signal processing prowess.
The RX-1 excels in test range scenarios, offering cutting-edge features to ensure maximum data accessibility. Trust the RX-1 for top-tier telemetry reception in challenging conditions.

The SPARTE 1300 series antenna is a tried-and-tested solution designed for mission-critical applications where reliable telemetry reception is essential. This antenna excels at accurately tracking flying targets, such as aircraft or space launch vehicles, even over long distances, thanks to its high-gain, large-aperture design.
Built with a robust and sturdy construction, the SPARTE 1300 series guarantees optimal performance in any scenario. It features an aluminum-alloy reflector for enhanced surface accuracy, SCM tracking feeds for dependable and precise tracking, and quad-drive motors for redundancy and no-backlash operation.
