Welcome to Vulcan Wireless. We provide digital communications solutions, sensor system design, and systems engineering support to both military and commercial customers.
For the second year Vulcan Wireless Inc. had a booth at the Small Satellite Conference in Logan Utah. The Small Satellite Conference is the premier conference for the small satellite technology community. If you missed the show we demonstrated our latest CSR-SDR CubeSat radio data link, controlled by the Nexus One Android phone. The user is able to send control messages from the ground to the space vehicle from an Android application. The CSR-SDR provides a robust satellite data link and the Nexus One Android hosted the user application and user interface to control the space vehicle.
Vulcan Wireless is proud to announce that the CSR-SDR CubeSatellite Software Defined Radio successfully flew into space on 5/4/2010 from Space Port America on an Up AeroSpace Spaceloft XL. The CSR-SDR software defined radio was configured to provide two data links in real time. The CSR-SDR’s first data link demonstrated in-flight communications with the NASA Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS). The TDRSS is a constellation of nine geosynchronous satellites that utilize a direct sequence spread spectrum communications technique and are used for on orbit communications to LEO space vehicles. The second data link provided S-Band telemetry to ground for in-flight payload telemetry data. The CSR-SDR was the first payload system to transmit real time telemetry from the Spaceloft XL hypersonic flight vehicle. Vulcan Wireless Inc. would like to thank AFRL, NASA/GSFC, SMC/SDTW, ORS, ITT, and Up Aerospace for their support and cooperation to make this flight the success it was.
