About this technology
Overview
Through a Space Act Agreement with Kennedy Space Center, telemetry innovator Ulyssix Technologies Inc., of Frederick, Maryland, is furthering its long-standing NASA relationship and expanding its commercial telemetry expertise. Ulyssix's telemetry hardware like its TarsusPCM processing board-used by Kennedy to gather and translate data on rocket and space shuttle launches-is being employed for jet engine and airplane testing and development, as well as ground support equipment for satellites. The hardware may also become a part of private space industry projects, all while still supporting NASA efforts, such as testing for the Constellation Program.
