Space relies on critical technologies to enable high-performance systems that support communication, navigation, observation and resilience. Operating in some of the most demanding environments, it depends on advanced capabilities that deliver precision, reliability and secure performance.
Earth observation
Imaging technologies are improving the way we observe our planet, supporting climate monitoring, disaster response and transport management.
Satellite communications
Semiconductors are essential for transmitting and receiving weak signals over the vast distances between satellites and ground stations.
Weather forecasting
Advanced optical systems allow multi-wavelength imaging of the earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land masses to support highly accurate weather forecasting.
Security
Quantum encryption will secure vital communication lines between satellites and ground stations, ensuring sensitive military and civilian data is protected from interception.
Navigation
Atomic clocks provide extremely precise time signals for Global Positioning Systems (GPS) that support navigation through your smart phone and other devices.
