    Key enablers for next generation satellite communications payload - with Texas Instruments

    Key enablers for next generation satellite communications payload - with Texas Instruments

    Episode 54 of the Space Industry podcast is a discussion with Adrian Helwig, Analog Field Application Engineer, and Michael Seidl, Systems Engineer from Texas Instruments, about how to develop a high-performing satellite communications payload.
    The evolution of satellite communications technology has pushed the innovation boundaries of subsystems and payloads. Simultaneously, the applications and supply of electronic components and power systems have also advanced in line with new market demands.
    NewSpace companies are tapping into these latest technologies in the satellite communications segment and utilizing it to open opportunities in markets such as laser communications. Therefore, in this episode, we will take a deep dive into the rising demand of high-performing satellite communications payloads, as well as the technical systems required to support these high-performance systems.
    Beamforming / electronically steered antennas, power density, and low board space are key requirements to enable it.RF sampling at high-frequency bands with high instantaneous bandwidth, high-speed ADCs are needed, extremely high quality clocking even more, RF amplifiers replace bulky baluns with even better linearity.High processing needs require efficient power supply as well as power generation capabilities.Advanced security is a key requirement for new missions (e.g. IRIS2 will use quantum key distribution)NewSpace technologies like laser communication, require high-speed data acquisition systems as well as precision pointing systems that require advanced motor control solutionsYou can find out more about Texas Instruments here on their satsearch supplier hub.

    Partnering for faster and more assured mission success - with GomSpace

    Partnering for faster and more assured mission success - with GomSpace

    In episode 53 of the Space Industry podcast Hywel Curtis speaks with Frank Tobin of nanosatellite manufacturer GomSpace North America about the pros and cons of working with external partners in space missions today.
     
    The ‘build vs. buy’ question is faced by engineers at all levels of satellite and spacecraft development. And it isn’t always simple to answer – there are more options on the market than ever, along with greater pressure to deliver high performance.
     
    In this podcast we discuss how to go about making that choice in a few key areas of space mission development. We cover:

    How partnering can speed up the deployment of a constellationThe effects on raising finance that agreements (whether binding or principle) with external providers can haveThe pros and cons of partnerships in key areas such as the ground segment and software-defined radio (SDR) useHow the market could continue to mature and develop in years to comeYou can find out more about GomSpace here on their satsearch supplier hub.
