Safran DSI - PPS®X00 Hall Effect Thruster
The PPS®X00 plasma thruster (Hall effect) takes benefit of Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion to propose a very efficient product. PPS®X00 was designed to address the specific requirements inherent in the “New Space” market environment. With a lifespan exceeding 5,000 hours and very high specific impulse, the PPS®X00 is an extremely versatile thruster, making it ideal for all types of applications in its core market: low Earth orbit (LEO).
VERY HIGH PERFORMANCE
The major advantages of the PPS®X00 are its high life time capability for this power range and its excellent thrust-to-electrical power ratio, which enable reducing operating time or the number of thrusters needed. Several innovations have been incorporated in the discharge chamber and magnetic circuit designs to propose competitive and reliable solutions while keeping a high performance level. It can be delivered as part of an electric propulsion subsystem, including Power Processing Unit and Propellant Management System

The NS1310 is a robust, compact data server and storage unit specifically designed for the challenging conditions of airborne environments.
This versatile system functions as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit and is equipped with a high-capacity Removable Memory Module (RMM).
The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units offer cost-effective and dependable solutions for field and mission data tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, storage, exploitation, and distribution. These units are suitable for use on both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles. They undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, adhering to standard test methods like DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.
STAR (EWC15-NG) is a new generation of transceiver for high performance Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) services. It inherits from the EWC15 products, that have been used in key space missions such as ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, PARASOL, MICROSCOPE.
With its small and high ruggedized design, XMA is the best fit for remote data acquisitions in harsh and small space areas.
It is the perfect candidate for network telemetry applications and remote acquisitions, to reduce the wire intrusiveness, and acquire the data closer to the sensors.
XMA also allows data recording, data processing, GPS localization and data transmission. XMA has the smallest size/channel types ratio, and proposes optimized module set for a large number of data type acquisitions, with state-of-the-art accuracy.
A complete set of status and health information of the unit is remotely available for live monitoring and accurate data qualifiers.
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.
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 D19-GT/-GTS Download Station ensures a secure and high-speed data download (via 40 Gbit Ethernet) from MDR or MDR-GT/-GTS storage media. Specifically designed for flight testing applications with demanding data rates and storage needs, the D19-GTS, when paired with MDR-GTS, incorporates advanced cybersecurity features like Data-At-Rest (DAR) protection and firmware updates. Configuration changes are facilitated through a Removable Secure Operational Disk (RSOD).
KapCOM (EWC33) is a new generation of transceivers with high performance Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) service. It is used on OneWeb constellation & is based on the heritage of EWC15 used in key space missions like ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, …
The Mobile Telemetry Rack (MTR) integrates state-of-the-art telemetry capabilities utilizing the RTR-X4 & GMDR recorder providing the ideal portable telemetry checkout system, able to receive demodulation, record, process and display your data throughout your system development.
Based on the Cortex architecture, the 4U chassis-based CORTEX RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing the utmost flexibility and capability a Telemetry Receiver can achieve.
The GMDR Chapter 7 recorder fits particularly well for the flight test support where operability and flexibility is essential. Not only the does the Telemetry rack provide a rich set of features, the Dell Server comes with the standard Safran software tools you expect: D4 Recorder, C10 Extract, eZ Viewer Data Verification and Quick Look Software.
Additionally, multiple projects can be supported by just swapping out the OS & media drives in support of classified projects.
