Star-Dundee

STAR-Dundee is an aerospace engineering company, which designs network and related data-handling technology for use on-board spacecraft. STAR-Dundee provides electronic test and development equipment and chip designs for spaceflight applications. Our highly experienced engineers were instrumental in the development of SpaceWire, writing the ECSS standard with inputs from international spacecraft engineers. SpaceWire is now widely used on-board spacecraft with over 100 space missions already in orbit or currently being designed using SpaceWire technology. Our engineers are currently leading the research, technical development and standardisation of the next generation of SpaceWire technology, SpaceFibre, which is a substantial leap forward, offering much higher data rates, quality of service, fault detection, isolation and recovery, deterministic data delivery, low latency time-synchronisation and event signalling, and many other features and benefits. Since 2002, STAR-Dundee has provided SpaceWire evaluation, test and development equipment to the world’s space agencies and aerospace companies. Our SpaceWire interface boards and units are used in Electronic Ground Support Equipment for integrating and testing many spacecraft. Our IP cores are integrated in spaceflight systems monitoring the Earth, exploring our Solar System, studying the universe and supporting commercial space applications. STAR-Dundee is committed to providing the best possible solution for your application. Our team of highly qualified and experienced engineers understands the challenges of designing systems for space applications. Our well proven technology has flown on many high profile space missions. Part of our commitment to our customers is the effort that we spend on the research, development and standardisation of data-handling technology. SpaceFibre is the latest manifestation of our commitment to engineering excellence and international standardisation.
