NASA asks SEAKR Engineering to develop digital processor for optical space communications

by John Keller

GREENBELT, Md.- Spacecraft designers at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., needed a radiation-hardened space digital processor to demonstrate laser communications relay technology to establish optical communications between geosynchronous satellites and Earth. They found their solution from SEAKR Engineering Inc. in Centennial, Colo.

NASA Greenbelt officials announced their intention to award a contract to SEAKR for a rad-hard space digital processor assembly for the Laser Communications...
