Orbital Optics |
For several years CCLRC's Space Science and Technology Department at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has been developing compact, robust, low cost cameras to image Earth from space. The TopSat mission, a collaboration with Surrey Satellites and Technology Ltd and QinetiQ on a BNSC and MoD sponsored project, obtained colour images at a resolution of 2.8m over a 16km field of view. Individual buildings on the ground can be identified at this resolution.
MDA,the Canadian space and defense company, acquired 50% of the conmpany's share capital in 2007 (including the bulk of RSF's holding) with a view to developing it as its European base. Rainbow made and IRR of 20% in less than 1 year. |

Phasor Solutions |
Phasor Solutions, formed in July 2005, has developed an innovative approach to the construction of flat panel phased arrays that can achieve a much lower cost per element. This means that an entire phased array antenna can be built for a cost not a lot more than a mechanically steered parabolic reflector antenna of comparable performance.
Phased Array Antennas are arrays of small antennas. By adjusting the relative phase of the signal received by (or transmitted from) each antenna element it is possible to electronically steer the beam to point precisely in a given direction and to dynamically adjust the beam direction to compensate for movements of the antenna or satellite.
