Space and Satellite EngineeringARINC provides space and satellite engineering services to U.S. agencies and commercial markets. For example, we've performed Global Positioning System services involving factory, pre-launch, on-orbit, user equipment, Nuclear Detonation (NUDET) Detection System (NDS) characterization, and platform engineering and testing, including:
ARINC is part of the Space Technology Applications and Requirements Support (STARS) program, a government effort to implement the latest communications, imagery, and weather technologies in the space battlefield. ARINC's role is to ensure that successful prototyping and live demonstration results are effectively transitioned to military acquisition and logistics stakeholders. Space Weather Technology In the space weather arena, ARINC integrated system hardware and designed control-system software for the U.S. Air Force's Solar Radio Spectrograph, and developed long-range data-transmittal software for other Solar Observatory communications programs. ARINC's contributions helped the U.S. Air Force meet critical solar flare detection and data dissemination requirements. ARINC's Colorado Springs office performs a variety of space weather activities for U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army Space Commands, including space weather training programs and the development of the Space Environmental Impact Tool (SEIT™), which relates solar and geophysical events to their effects on ground- and space-based systems. The office also analyzes space weather events that degrade propagation on ARINC's high-frequency ground-to-aircraft voice communications systems. Our primary space weather capabilities are:
