Electro Source attends Canadian Space Launch Conference with Siemens

Before any component reaches orbit, it must prove it can survive the journey. Our team has successfully completed vibration testing at the component levels, with the latest campaign focused on the thruster. As part of the broader validation and qualification process, this test pushes our hardware to and beyond the harsh loads experienced during a rocket launch. By exposing the thruster to intense mechanical vibrations, we verify that it can withstand launch conditions while maintaining structural integrity and functional readiness for operations. We are grateful to TIZ Landl - Grieskirchen GmbH for the professional collaboration over the course of the testing campaign.

Our team is already on the way to Bristol for the “Future of Power Electronics in Mobility” Tech Day.

FURUNO designs marine radar antennas where every decibel of gain matters. By feeding accurate material properties into their electromagnetic simulations, they reduced design uncertainty and validated performance digitally before building a single prototype. See how they did it: https://bit.ly/4tdiJc2 #MarineEngineering #SimulationDriven #MaterialsData #AntennaDesign

All setup and ready for tomorrows Engineering Integrity Society exhibition day taking place at the F1 wing at Silverstone. I’ll show you how one camera solution can not only provide data recording in Teledyne FLIR Research Studio but also be setup to monitor and alarm for critical conditions. This allows you to it only protect assets but also get the radiometric data to deep dive into the data to really understand what happened.

Had a great few days at the 48th Aerospace Mechanisms Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama last week! The technical presentations at the conference are always what interest me the most. This year, a couple of themes stood out to me: 1) The aerospace industry overall is moving faster than ever. That being said, speed doesn’t mean skipping over the fundamentals. When something unexpected happens, the best teams seek to understand the issues before moving forward and hoping the concerns resolve themselves. 2) Simple, crude testing of prototypes is very beneficial in the early design stages and helps gain early momentum. However, eventually, you have to test how you fly. Otherwise, you may qualify a non-representative design that doesn’t perform as expected. I also had quite a few interesting conversations with various industry professionals who are doing truly exciting work. Already looking forward to next year!

LIG Excellence Prize (우수상) - 10th KSPE Creative Design Competition Issuer: LIG Nex1 / Korean Society of Precision Engineering (KSPE) Date: Nov 2025 Awarded the LIG Excellence Prize for the design and development of a "Trailer Steering Assist System" (Smart Fifth Wheel). The project addressed critical challenges in commercial vehicle maneuverability under the theme of "Smart & Green Precision Engineering." Collaborated with a 6-member engineering team under the guidance of Prof. Park Jin-il to optimize dynamic steering control and enhance the physical safety of articulating transportation systems.

Great discussions in Prague today with the team from IHI Aerospace. It is always valuable to exchange perspectives on the future of space propulsion, propulsion architectures, and the broader evolution of in-space mobility technologies. The meeting covered current trends in alternative propellants, propulsion system development, testing approaches, and opportunities for future international collaboration between European and Japanese space ecosystems. One of the key takeaways is that the momentum behind greener and more sustainable propulsion solutions continues to grow across the industry. At the same time, practical implementation, manufacturability, qualification, and long-term operational considerations remain equally important parts of the discussion. We also touched on the importance of maintaining strong cross-industry and cross-region cooperation as the space sector continues to mature and scale. Looking forward to continuing the discussions in the coming months.

Behind the scenes... Recently, we visited our valued customer, Myles Jenkinson, at the University of Surrey to go behind the scenes and see how they are utilising the VICIVISION Metrios Cross within their engineering department. Our Carfulan Group Group Marketing Manager, Lewis Hearne, was given a tour of the facilities and gained an insight into how advanced optical measurement technology is supporting both research and engineering applications at the university. It was great to hear directly from Myles about the benefits of the Metrios Cross and to see the system in action. The full video case study launches tomorrow, where Myles and his team share their experiences firsthand and explain how the University of Surrey is using VICIVISION technology to improve measurement efficiency and accuracy.
