DESCRIPTION: RT Logic will demonstrate its T400CS Channel Simulator that enables comprehensive RF/IF testing of ground and flight communication systems and components without actual flights. The instrument adds precise signal propagation effects to user- or T400CS-generated signals, including smooth phase-continuous Doppler shift (carrier and signal), range delay, range attenuation, fading and noise.
An advanced signal generator produces test and interference signals in many modulation formats. A sophisticated spectrum/interference analyzer displays modulation type, data rate, C/No, BER, Eb/No and C/I along with advanced carrier-under-carrier analysis.
The instrument is controlled locally or remotely by GUI, TCP/IP connections from user-written software, from pre-created profiles, and through Analytical Graphics, Inc.’s STK software.
The T400CS is used for laboratory test, classroom/lab demonstration and instruction, and on-air work with on-station satellites.
Also demonstrated is RT Logic’s satID Signal Geolocation System that uses satellites to pinpoint the location of planned, unintentional and interference transmissions, along with unauthorized users. |

Missions are typically developed with stringent attitude control and data requirements that are striking relative to the budget available. SFL must be innovative while adopting a highly focused approach to development in order to achieve costs as low as 1/100th the price of similar satellites developed elsewhere. SFL’s credits include: MOST, Canada’s first space telescope; CanX-2, a technology demonstrator and atmospheric science satellite; and NTS, a ship-tracking satellite developed in only six months and launched in the seventh. SFL arranges launches through its Nanosatellite Launch Service (NLS) and provides customizable separation systems called “XPODs” for those launches. As part of its complete end-to-end mission capabilities, SFL maintains a mission control center consisting of multiple ground stations. Come visit us to discuss your microspace mission needs today!

DESCRIPTION: USASMDC/ARSTRAT conducts space and missile defense operations and provides planning, integration, control, and coordination of Army Forces and capabilities in support of US Strategic Command missions. The SMDC/ARSTRAT Technology Center is focused on the development and transition of space technologies for the Army and Joint Warfighter. Due to the increasing demand by Army and Joint commanders for persistent and responsive Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications, the Technology Center is investing in technology development of small satellites that can help relieve some of those Warfighter demands. Our role is to provide our Soldiers and Joint Warfighters with superior technical advantages in time to meet rapidly evolving threats. |

DESCRIPTION: DR Technologies, Inc. and its Vanguard Composites Group subsidiary specialize in the application of advanced composites for spacecraft structures that need stiffness, precision and stability, as well as multi-functional applications such as electronic packaging and space power.
Vanguard specializes in spacecraft bus structures, antenna reflectors, dimensionally-stable optical benches for space telescopes and sensors, and multi-functional composite structures including lightweight thermal management electronics enclosures. Vanguard's capabilities include full engineering, with extensive capabilities in advanced composites design and analysis. We can work in a design-to-spec or build-to-print environment, to build, test, and deliver anything from simple composite components to challenging structural assemblies.
DR also has an emerging business in Space Power, Optical and Thermal products which includes advanced, low cost solar panels, high accuracy ultra-lightweight reflective optics, and thermal control radiators.
Ongoing SBIR efforts have developed these technologies for small spacecraft and special applications. This area features high performance advanced technology products such as standardized modular solar arrays, loop heat pipe radiator panels, infra-red and submillimeter mirrors, and solar concentrators. |

DESCRIPTION: The Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport (MARS) is an FAA licensed, operational spaceport located at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on the mid-Atlantic coast. MARS provides low cost access to mid-inclination orbits for small, medium and medium-heavy class ELVs, sub-orbital launchers, RLV launch and landing, and payload recovery. Its location provides unobstructed access to the ISS orbit and is the primary launch site for Taurus II ISS cargo re-supply services. MARS offers two FAA licensed launch pads, sub-orbital launch rails, vehicle/payload storage and processing facilities, horizontal vehicle assembly facility, hypergolic fueling facility, large capacity ELV liquid fueling facility, co-located airport, flexible mission support, and an accommodating schedule for commercial and government aerospace customers. The MARS facilities readily support the Pegasus, Minotaur, Taurus, and Taurus II family of LVs. Its unique location, capabilities, and cost advantages make it the test, demonstration, and operational launch site of choice for government, commercial, and academic missions. |

DESCRIPTION: A Proven Partner in Digital Communications.
Vulcan Wireless Inc. provides complete turn key wireless designs for our domestic and international customers. We provide comprehensive, cost effective, engineering services as well as product development. We enable our customers to smoothly transition from marketing concept to mass production. We enable our customers to meet the critical market window and aggressively support our customers scheduling needs.
Vulcan Wireless Inc. is focusing on advanced communications and software defined radios for the small satellite and CubeSat applications. Vulcan provides turn key radio and antenna systems and ground terminals for small satellite systems.
Our designs are capable of operating in harsh space environments such as radiation, vibration, vacuum and thermal cycling. Our radios are software defined which provides the customer flexibility in waveforms, protocols, and encryption. The radios implement high performance RF transceivers which provide improved sensitivity, wideband acquisitions, high intercept points and adjacent channel rejection.
Our second generation space flight product, the CSR-SDR, is a software defined radio and has expands the waveform set and functionality. The CSR-SDR is part of a complete turnkey telemetry system including flight antenna, tracking ground terminal, AES encryption, and web based control of ground terminal. VHF to S-Band telemetry options are available. The CSR-SDR is compatible with many CubeSat form factors. |
