After a succesful show STAR-Dundee would like to thank everyone who put effort into this year’s SmallSat. For anyone who didn’t get a chance to speak with us, you can find more information about our products here or contact a member of the team at enquiries@star-dundee.com.

In June 2010, STAR-Dundee was invited, by Academy of Opto-Electronics (AOE) of Chinese Academy of Science (CAS), to give a very comprehensive seminar including many aspects of SpaceWire technology and STAR-Dundee SpaceWire equipments.

We were also glad to give working and live demonstrations of our USB Router, USB Brick, Link Analyser, Validation Software and Conformance Tester. All of the items featured in the demonstration, along with other available hardware and software can be viewed in the SpaceWire test and development equipment page. Alternatively, you can email enquiries@star-dundee.com for more information.

With previous conferences being held in Dundee, Scotland (2007) and Nara, Japan (2008), the International SpaceWire Conference comes to St. Petersburg, Russia in 2010.

From the 22nd – 24th June STAR-Dundee will attend to demonstrate current tools to support the users and developers of SpaceWire equipment, participate in shaping the future of SpaceWire, and also, importantly, realise the needs and desires of the SpaceWire community. We would enjoy hearing your opinions and feedback, and showing you what we have to offer, so be sure to visit STAR-Dundee and meet the team. More information is available from the official website here.

Hosted in Budapest, Hungary, STAR-Dundee exhibited a range of new products along with technical presentations on their new capabilities.

Some of the presentations featured SpaceWire, including Steve Parkes’ “New SpaceWire Protocols and Tools”. The full conference proceedings are to be published within two months, but in the meantime a summary of the final programme can be found here. Also, further information on the new range of improved STAR-Dundee Mk2 products will be available on the STAR-Dundee SpaceWire products page shortly.

One hundred and forty scientists and engineers from 30 organisations in China and the UK attended the 6th UK-China Workshop on Space Science and Technology held in Wuhan, China.

On this workshop, STAR-Dundee presented the features of SpaceWire, reasons why SpaceWire and the SpaceWire products available from STAR-Dundee. We were glad to see the excitement and enormous interest brought by Chinese delegates. Please drop us an email to enquiries@star-dundee.com, for the presentation slides or more information.

STAR-Dundee were very honoured to be invited along to the Japanese SpaceWire Users Meeting, held at the University of Tokyo. Several companies and agencies gave presentations on missions that were using SpaceWire, all of which proved to be very exciting.

This was a great opportunity for STAR-Dundee to update the Japanese SpaceWire community on our range of products. We were also glad to give working demonstrations of our USB Router (now replaced by the SpaceWire Router Mk2), USB Brick, Link Analyser (now replaced by the SpaceWire Link Analyser Mk2), Validation Software and CUBA software and also help test a Japanese router with our Conformance Tester and Link Analyser (now replaced by the SpaceWire Link Analyser Mk2).

All of the items featured in the demonstration, along with other available hardware and software can be viewed in the products page. Alternatively, you can email enquiries@star-dundee.com for more information.

STAR-Dundee have recently expanded their company to include 6 new employees!

Japan showed exceptional hospitality in the truely beautiful city of Nara during the 2nd International SpaceWire Conference. The conference, attended by many SpaceWire users and developers, which proved to be a great success, included impressive tradional Japanese events.

STAR-Dundee exhibited at the conference which brought together both academics, industrialists and enthusiasts. We look forward to attending the 3rd International SpaceWire Conference in Russia, and for more information on the hardware and software included in the exhibit visit the products page, or email a member of the STAR-Dundee team at enquiries@star-dundee.com

The 2008 IAC was well attended by delegates across the world. STAR-Dundee joined forces with Clydespace to exhibit a Scottish stand. At which STAR-Dundee demonstrated transmitting pictures from a camera, over SpaceWire, to display them on a TV. SpaceWire interfaces can be seen at the SpaceWire products page.

Amongst the many famous visitors was Bridget XMR Rover. Incidentally, the XMR Rover uses SpaceWire to connect its science navigation cameras to its onboard data-handling systems
