Space Micro Announces New Spray Form of its Patented RADCOMP™ Radiation Shieldings
SAN DIEGO, CA – March 24, 2011 – Space Micro announced today that it has developed a sprayable version of its RADCOMP™ radiation material. The material is formulation flexible, allowing it to be used with a range of structural materials. The original technology was developed to support an SBIR effort to develop radiation shielding for space electronics.
“Space Micro works to develop and produce innovative products through the SBIR Program and looks for opportunity to expand the technology into derivative applications”, stated Project Leader, Carl Edwards.About Space Micro Inc.
Space Micro Inc specializes in payload and communications equipment for satellites, and is a pioneer and leader in technologies that enable Commercial-Off-the-Shelf (COTS) electronic devices to be deployed in space. Radiation in space is damaging to electronics. Space Micro has developed patented technologies to mitigate radiation effects on state-of-art commercial electronics. Space Micro offers space-qualified radiation hardened microelectronics, from radiation hardened by design (RHBD) technologies to space rated single board computers (RH SBC). Space Micro offers the world’s fastest space radiation hardened line of radiation hardened computers. These space computers include the Proton200k™ DSP-based RH SBC, Proton300k™ SRAM-based reconfigurable space computer (RH RCC), and Proton400k™ multi-core PowerPC-based RH SBC. In addition to satellite computers, Space Micro offers satellite communications equipment such as Space-Ground Link System (µSGLS™ / RH SGLS / RH SGLS-USB / µSTDN™ / RH STDN transponders), Ka Band transmitter (µKa™ Wide Band Radiation Hardened Transmitter), X/UHF/VHF-Band transponders and power amplifiers (RH PA) and custom boxes. Other Space Micro developments include ProtonX-Box™ Avionics Suite, TTMR™ (Time Triple Modular Redundancy), H-CORE™ circuitry for Single Events Functional Interrupt (SEFI) mitigation, SEMS™ Space Weather Box and Divert Attitude Control System (RH DACS). Space Micro is an employee-owned company based in San Diego, CA, USA.
