"This historic achievement continues the testament of our commitment to be the leader in innovation and technology for solid state storage products into the new millennium," said SEAKR's President and CEO Col. Raymond Anderson.

"I am proud and privileged to serve with such a talented and creative team. Your tenacity and can do attitude have made this momentous achievement possible." Anderson added. SEAKR's 51 Gbit Solid State Recorder, the first to use 64 Mbit DRAM technology in a space based environment, continues the company's long line of industry firsts. The STEX Satellite recorder uses an innovative analog interface to record and playback high fidelity analog signals, delivering performance significantly better than analog tape recorders.

According to Ian Webb, SEAKR's STEX Program Manager, "The P9 architecture was selected for this effort due to its unique modular design. This proven architecture permits the use of an isolated IO module, allowing low cost interface customization without impacting the rest of the design.

To date, we have delivered eight P9 recorders with another 28 on order. The large backlog of P9 recorders has allowed us to set up a dedicated manufacturing line, further reducing the cost and lead time for these systems."

The Space Technology Experiment (STEX) program is run by the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). It is the first in a series of planned small satellite missions sponsored by the Advanced Systems and Technology Directorate (AS&TD) of the NRO to demonstrate various advanced enabling space technologies.

Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India
Calcutta, India (SPX) Dec 28, 2005
The successful launch Thursday of India's heaviest satellite from spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana may have boosted the country's space research efforts to yet another level, but it has also lifted the spirits of at least three Direct-To-Home televisions broadcasters, one of which has been waiting for years to launch its services in India.
