South Korea Selects MTS for Satellite Test System
Eden Prairie - Nov 12, 2003 MTS Systems Corp. said Tuesday that the Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), which spearheads the South Korean national space program, has selected MTS to provide test and data acquisition systems for KARI's recently commissioned test facility. KARI's new state-of-the-art acoustic and vibration certification test facility will host future launch environment certification projects in Korea. "The South Korean National Space Program is progressing rapidly, with a number of civil communication and earth science projects underway," said Dr. Y.K. Kim, senior researcher for KARI. "MTS' expertise, support of National Instruments and demonstrated success in providing measurement and analysis systems to many of the world's leading satellite development organizations were all key factors in our decision to select them as our test and data acquisition system supplier for the new facility." "This is a significant win for our Software and Consulting business," said Sidney W. Emery, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer for MTS. "We are pleased that organizations of KARI's caliber continue to validate the strength of our products and consulting expertise by choosing MTS as their partner for complex test initiatives such as this." MTS' proven suite of noise and vibration solutions will provide the foundation for the new facilities' test system. The solutions provide the broadest range of sophisticated high-performance data collection, structural dynamic analysis, sound quality, acoustics and modal analysis functionality available today in a single, integrated package. MTS' test systems integrate best-in-class data acquisition hardware from today's leading providers of electronics, including National Instruments, Sony Precision Technology and VXI Technologies. The core of the data acquisition instrumentation MTS will supply KARI is based on National Instrument's PXI-4472 product, an eight-channel dynamic signal acquisition module for making high-accuracy frequency-domain measurements.
