More Product Information

The SafeLaunch-FTR is based on more than 20 years of skills and experience. Such Flight Termination Receivers equip air to air, ground to air and air to ground missiles as well as UAV, target drones and Launch Vehicles. They are qualified under MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E standards, and comply to RCC-319. The compact and optimized package is consistent in size and weight with the most severe requirements of missile platforms. The electronical design, based on the latest generation of Software Defined Radio (SDR) components, brings to SafeLaunch-FTR high reliabilty and evolutivity.

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.

Our patented miniaturized L/S/C Tri-Band Feed delivers top-notch performance and unmatched flexibility.
Equipped with a common L/S/C radiating front end, it’s complemented by a modular set of active RF modules, enabling simultaneous reception and tracking across various frequency bands. Its compact, lightweight design allows it to be mounted on any dishes ranging from 6 to 24 feet.
Available in single, dual, or tri-band configurations, this feed offers the best value for customers looking to meet current requirements while staying future-ready.
It’s also field-upgradable to add any missing bands with straightforward RF module additions, ensuring scalability while keeping costs in check.

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 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).

X-LITE (EWC27) has been designed with for small satellites flying in Low Earth Orbit. One of the main challenges is low consumption of radio communication links. X-LITE (EWC27) offers high data rate telemetry and robust X band transmission.

The SPARTE e100 is a hybrid antenna addressing the telemetry applications in S-Band, including hypersonic test articles.
The antenna is a combination of an Electronic Beam Steering supporting any elevation from -5° up to +95° and a single-axis mechanical rotation of the patch panel providing unlimited azimuth. The patch panel’s size enables the SPARTE e100 to achieve telemetry reception performance comparable to that of a 1.2m diameter dual-axis antenna.
This is achieved with a significantly simpler mechanical design, ensuring easier maintenance throughout the antenna’s operational lifespan.
The SPARTE e100’s rapid tracking capabilities, reaching speeds of up to 60°/s in azimuth and virtually infinite in elevation, make it an ideal “lock-on” antenna.
