Innovative Inertial Measurement Solutions for Space Exploration

Silicon Sensing Systems has unveiled a cutting-edge series of inertial measurement devices tailored for the aerospace sector,set to be showcased at the inaugural Space-Comm Expo in Farnborough,UK,on July 7th and 8th,2021.

Overview of New High-Performance Products

The latest offerings include:

• CRH03 – a compact, standalone single-axis gyroscope
• RPU30 – a durable, compact 3-axis gyroscope designed for scenarios were linear acceleration data is unnecessary
• IMU20 – a robust 6-degree-of-freedom (DoF) inertial measurement unit (IMU) engineered for extreme impact and vibration conditions
• DMU41 – a compact 9 DoF IMU, touted by Silicon Sensing as the most advanced silicon MEMS IMU available today

performance Advantages

These innovative products provide a lightweight and resilient alternative to customary fiber optic or dynamically tuned gyro (FOG/DTG) systems. Utilizing Silicon Sensing’s proprietary resonating ring gyroscope technology, they excel in angle random walk, bias instability, and low noise performance, all while ensuring high shock resistance. The engineering team at silicon Sensing is equipped to customize the performance of each device to align with specific operational needs, with most options available as either OEM or packaged solutions.

Expert Insights

Steve Capers, General Manager of Silicon Sensing, stated, “These non-ITAR products embody our latest innovations. They cater to a wide array of motion sensing demands within the launch vehicle and small satellite sectors, delivering ultra-reliable performance in environments where space and power are limited, and conditions are most challenging.”
