AMPAC-ISP Components Support TanDEM-X Radar Satellite
AMPAC-ISP's European operations are playing a crucial role the TanDEM radar satellite mission by providing several of the cold gas propulsion system components. Under contract from EADS Astrium (Friedrichshafen, Germany), AMPAC-ISP Europe supplied Cold Gas Thrusters 40mN (for orbit control system), Fill and Vent Valves (with associated ground support equipment) and Pressure Relief Valves. The TanDEM-X mission objective is to work in formation with its sister satellite, TerraSAR-X forming the first configurable synthetic aperture radar interferometer in space, and will gather data used to construct an accurate three-dimensional elevation model of Earth that is homogeneous in quality and unprecedented in accuracy......more
