GE Aerospace offers a variety of technologies that enable precision location and timing information independent of traditional RF signal-based solutions.
Dassault Aviation is studying a reusable space transportation system to launch satellites into low Earth orbit. It comprises an airborne reusable hypersonic vehicle and a subsonic carrier aircraft.
From the same pyrotechnic hardware developed for launchers, Dassault Aviation has been proposing its ITAR free pyrotechnics for satellites and space probes. These devices perform a great number of functions such as: deployment of solar panels and antennas, apogee motor ignition, and unlocking of mechanisms.
On November 2014, after ten years of a 6.5 billion kilometer space travel, Philae lander separated from Rosetta probe in the vicinity of “Chury” comet.
