NASA Specifies Hypertac(R) "Basket of Wires" Technology for all Space Flight Applications

HUDSON, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Smiths Interconnect, a division of the global technology business Smiths Group today announces that Hypertronics cPCI connectors, featuring the trademarked Hypertac "Basket of Wires" technology are the only approved Compact PCI connectors for NASA space flight applications. Further, extensive testing of the Hypertac "Basket of Wires" technology has now resulted in NASA issuing an addendum to EEE-INST-002 prohibiting the use of both tuning fork and press fit connectors and formally recommending the Hypertac connector technology for use on all future space flight hardware.

NASA Patents To Be Auctioned

Presto Vivace writes to tell us that as a continuing push to commercialize NASA-funded technology a group of 25 NASA patents will be auctioned off this coming October. "The sale, which will include rights to signal processing, GPS for spacecraft and sensor technologies, is the first auction under a partnership announced earlier this month between Goddard's Innovative Partnerships Program (IPP) and Ocean Tomo Federal Services LLC. Ocean Tomo provides a marketplace for intellectual property, which NASA wants to leverage in commercializing its technology."

NASA Tests Deep-Space Network Modeled On the Internet

hcg50a writes "NASA has successfully tested the first deep space communications network modeled on the Internet. Working as part of a NASA-wide team, engineers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, used software called Disruption-Tolerant Networking, or DTN, to transmit dozens of space images to and from a NASA science spacecraft located about 20 million miles from Earth. The store-and-forward protocol was designed by NASA in consultation with Vint Cerf. Here's a discussion from last July before the test began."

Panasonic and Renesas Technology to Collaborate on Development of SoCs at 32-nm Process Node

Panasonic Corporation and Renesas Technology Corp. are now collaborating on the development of elemental process technologies for SoCs of the 32-nm node. The two companies are confident that their 32-nm node transistor technology and other advances can soon be applied to products in mass production. The 32-nm SoC process employs a developed transistor technology with a metal/high-k1 gate stack structure and interconnect technology, using a low-k2 material. To achieve a device using complementary metal-insulator semiconductor (CMIS)3 technology, a type of complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), at a 32-nm node, an ultrathin film cap layer4 is applied at the atomic level to transistors with a metal/high-k gate stack structure under optimized conditions.

NASA Restores Historic Lunar Orbiter Image

PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA released a newly restored 42-year-old image of Earth on Thursday. The Lunar Orbiter 1 spacecraft took the iconic photograph of Earth rising above the lunar surface in 1966. Using refurbished machinery and modern digital technology, NASA produced the image at a much higher resolution than was possible when it was originally taken. The data may help the next generation of explorers as NASA prepares to return to the moon.
