Laser Ignition in Space

VILLACH, Austria -

- Sensor Research Centre CTR Aims to Use Laser Ignition in Space

Following automotive and aviation applications, Carinthian Tech Research (CTR) is now working on using laser ignition in space systems. The German Aerospace Centre (Institute of Propulsion Technology), engine manufacturers EADS Astrium and CTR are carrying out the project jointly for the European Space Agency (ESA). In addition to developing a technology roadmap, research also includes testing the HiPoLas(R) miniature laser ignition system on a thruster breadboard. “What made this innovation possible was miniaturising the laser source, which does not require any optical elements and tolerates extremely high temperatures and vibrations,” explains Simon Grasser, CTR’s director. Laser ignition has several advantages: the plasma discharge can be located anywhere and the higher energy than in electrical systems ensures that ignition occurs even at very high beam speeds and with various mixtures.

European AutoID Award 2009 Honors Object Security Surveillance Solution

ZURICH - Silverstroke AG, an Ettlingen/Germany-based communications solution provider, won this year’s European AutoID Award in the category “RFID”. In doing so, the awarding committee acknowledged a groundbreaking object surveillance solution which uses RFID to protect an art collection. The winning project was realized by Silverstroke in collaboration with the GU and systems integrator, Siemens Building Technologies, as well as Albis Technologies. The application is based on active RFID transponders by Albis. Thereby reading devices in the exhibition rooms interconnect the RFID transponders with the application-software. This design ensures continuous surveillance of the exhibits.
