Sigma-Netics Sensor Support Electronics (SN:SSE)

We intend on developing a hybrid microchip version of the MEDLI SSE that will meet the requirement of MIL-PRF-38534.NASA wishes to equip all future planetary missions with a MEDLI like EDL system. Many planetary missions do not have the funding or project timeline to fly an EDL sensor suite similar to the MEDLI and MEDLI2. We will develop a low cost Data Acquisition System that can survive the rigors of space flight and be cost effective to fly on all planetary missions. A fully qualified target cost of less than $1 million is achievable by this approach.In Phase two we will complete the integration of that base design into a hybrid microcircuit design and perform environmental testing. We will perform day in the life testing to fully demonstrate there is no loss of performance butnbsp; huge cost and mass savings.
