CSA will exhibit at the 19th Annual Conference on Small Satellites, to be held in Logan, Utah, August 8-11. Engineers staffing the CSA booth will provide information on the company’s capabilities in launch vehicle payload interfaces and adapters, SoftRide and ShockRing launch load alleviation technologies, large ground test systems for spacecraft, and on-orbit vibration mitigation systems. Space continues to be a key market for CSA’s products and services, with the company’s vibration suppression and precision motion control preserving basic functions and enabling new ones in customer products and systems.

Joe Maly and Scott Pendleton of CSA are also lead authors for the paper “CASPAR: Low-Cost, Dual-Manifest Payload Adapter for Minotaur IV,” describing the Composite Adapter for Shared PAyload Rides (CASPAR), developed to utilize excess Peacekeeper missile motors and provide low-cost launches for Government payloads to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
