The One Mistake That Could Derail Your Space Mission (And How to Avoid It)
Let’s be real: nothing throws a wrench in a satellite launch like a last-minute cryocooler tweak. We’ve seen it before—a vague Cryocooler Control Electronics (CCE) plan, and suddenly, your mission is on hold for months. It’s a costly setback, but it’s avoidable.
At Iris Technology, we’ve helped keep legendary missions like Hubble on track, and we know exactly where things go sideways. The fix? Lock in your CCE design early. Our 2024 white paper breaks it down, but here’s the inside scoop:
Get these wrong, and you’re grounded:
Pick the wrong cryocooler (single vs. dual piston)? Get ready for expensive reworks.
Misjudge your power setup (isolated vs. non-isolated)? Say hello to an overweight satellite.
Order radiation-hardened FPGAs too late? Deadlines slip, and so does your launch window.
We’ve seen it all, and we cover it all—cryocooler configurations, input ripple filters, EMI/EMC (MIL-STD-461), and comms (RS-422 or SpaceWire). With decades of hands-on experience, our team knows how to get it right the first time.
One call with us, and your CCE specs are locked before delays can strike.
Don’t risk your mission on guesswork. Book a call with Iris Technology and set your project up for a flawless launch.
