Our high reliability modules have been built into Japanese satellites and launch vehicles for years. To achieve high reliability that can withstand a harsh space environment, our module meets strict technical standards in every process of circuit design, component selection, manufacturing and evaluation.
Examples for High-Reliability Modules
Guidance Control Computer (GCC) for Launch Vehicle
GCC is the on-board system that calculates navigation, guidance and control commands for the independent control of the launch vehicle. NF’s high reliabity modules are included in the GCC and convert data from the sensors mounted in the vehicles into the signals to control the vehicles. All existing launch vehicles which are domestically developed in Japan is equipped with NF’s reliability modules.
Asteroid Explorer “Hayabusa”
Power Control Circut mounted on “Minerva”, the land rover
Asteroid Explorer “Hayabusa2”
High Voltage Control Circuit
This is the bias power supply for the LIDAR (laser altimeter) used by the asteroid explorer “Hayabusa 2” to measure its distance from asteroid Ryugu. Despite its compact size, it amplifies the 15 V input voltage to 0-600 V using a 0-5 V control signal, achieving an extremely stable output with ripple of 10 mVp-p / 0.003 % or less.
