Arcsec space
Twinkle is an inter satellite communication system that has been designed by ARCSEC, in conjunction with VAE where the initial on board communication system is designed to operate in a precise ministerial manner between satellites. New hardware integration and bespoke electronics solutions would not have been realised without VAE’s support. This included developing, high-speed communication modules for signal transmitted; low power PCBs; and electronic components that could survive the rigorous of the space environment.
Twinkle system targets the use of modern optical communication system to enhance speed, reliability and security of data transmission. Because of VAE’s specialised skills, the system provided the performance and robustness necessary to allow satellites to act independently as well as in concert in space.
Twinkle has revolutionized satellite networks through operating real-time data and communication for constellation networks. The ARCSEC cooperation with VAE led to the creation of a strong and operational system which Successfully covers a range of space exploration ranging from earth observation to deep space one, as shown below. Twinkle has established a new paradigm for how satellite satellites will be connected from today onward that open doors to the future space missions.
Arcsec space
Sagitta implemented by ARCSEC in conjunction with the VAE is a sophisticated autonomous navigation solution which aims to improve satellite productivity. VAE supported as the main astronautic and electronics supplier focusing on developing electronics specialized in the aerospace environment. This involved high accuracy-designed PCBs, reliable energy supply systems, and parts that are immune to radiation effects.
Thus, VAE and ARCSEC combined the state-of-art AI technologies with on-board processing power that allowed Sagitta to compute its location and heading on her own. This functional independence minimizes ground control dependence while optimizing overall operation, using sophisticated control in space.
This made a historic GPS navigation system that completely changes satellite management. Sagitta leads to cutting important operational expenses to the bare minimum, improves the mission application versatility while at the same time enhancing its decision-making advantage. However, it’s the mutual vision of ARCSEC complimented by VAE’s-electronics/systems design expertise that’s making Sagitta the benchmark of efficiency/reliability in space missions.
Arcsec space
Zyra, that has been jointly designed by ARCSEC and VAE, is an influential spacecraft docking system that entails sophisticated tools for carrying out different autonomous and precise orbital maneuvers effectively. Additionally, the VAE offered special electronics and hardware designs and solutions that included new high precision sensors, control circuits and PCBs designed to work effectively in space like conditions with low radiation.
The Zyra system employs the best guidance and control algorithms combined with VAE’s excellent electronic parts to allow the drone to dock almost on its own. The solution focuses on safety, accuracy and flexibility in response to the range of missions including satellite repair and space station supply missions.
Due to a partnership between ARCSEC and VAE, a complex of reliable and optimizing the operation of spacecraft docking systems was developed. Zyra gains superior performance to achieve the set mission in LEO and COS environments for the spacecraft. Zyra is altering the configuration of spacecraft usage and compatibility by incorporating ARCSEC’s background in autonomous systems and VAE’s technology advancement.
