Space Flight Qualified (SFQ) Sensors
Blue Line’s Space Flight Qualified (SFQ) sensor systems are built using radiation-hardened components and undergo a rigorous series of environmental stress tests and performance checks before passing our acceptance standards. Each SFQ unit is released with its complete test history, documenting all performance measurements and modifications. Typical performance characteristics are given for the system types below. Please note that specifications are based on lab-controlled tests. Changes in configuration will result in variations in some performance categories. Please contact us to discuss your intended application or to inquire about modifications or customized designs.
DFPS
DFPS is our stellar digital sensor system with a Spacewire interface. Nearing 20 bits of digital resolution the DFPS has undergone rigorous testing and analysis. It’s precision ADC and Blue Line’s proprietary detector ASIC combine to provide unparalleled performance in demanding space flight applications.
ECSS-II
ECSSII is our workhorse analog space flight system. Reliable and proven with over 32 flight systems shipped it provides two differential channels in a compact form factor.
Sensor Heads
SFQ sensors are typically form-factored for the host mechanism. They are tuned and matched to the flight electronics for optimum performance.
