A New Approach To Spacecraft Testing+ Simulation Debuts From Celestia STS
Celestia STS has launched MPIP, a multi-purpose interface platform that offers a novel approach to spacecraft test and simulation. MPIP is a modular, scalable electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) that enables space equipment builders or integrators to test and simulate different electrical interfaces in a fast, flexible, and cost-efficient manner. By combining interfaces into a […]
An Alternative RF Navigation Simulator Debuts From Spirent Federal Systems
Spirent Federal has launched an alternative RF navigation simulator. As GPS jamming and spoofing continue to rise, interest in complementary sources of positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) data has likewise increased. Recent government directives recommend a layered, multi-source approach, with much of the attention focused on non-GNSS radio frequency signals. These RF signals, coined alternative […]
