Exxelia équipe le satellite turc IMECE avec des condensateurs tantale et céramique

Conçu et développé par l'Institut de recherche sur les technologies spatiales TÜBİTAK (TÜBİTAK UZAY) en Turquie


IMECE SatelliteIMECE est un satellite d'observation de la Terre avec une masse impressionnante de 800 kg, qui évoluera en orbite géocentrique synchrone avec le soleil à une altitude de 680 km. Ce satellite est conçu pour une mission d'une durée de cinq ans et offre une résolution d'image impressionnante de 0,99 mètre en mode panchromatique (PAN). Cette résolution permettra d'obtenir des images détaillées de la Terre, ouvrant ainsi de nouvelles opportunités pour la surveillance de l'environnement, l'agriculture, la cartographie, et bien plus encore.



Exxelia équipe le satellite avec les condensateurs de la série PM qui sont utilisés dans l'unité de distribution de puissance (PDU) du satellite. Les condensateurs de la série PM d'Exxelia sont réputés pour leur fiabilité, leur performance et leur durabilité, ce qui les rend idéaux pour les applications spatiales. Exxelia fournit également des condensateurs tantale et des condensateurs céramique pour les charges utiles de l'IMECE Satellite. Ces composants sont conçus pour résister aux conditions extrêmes de l'espace et garantir le bon fonctionnement des instruments scientifiques et des équipements à bord du satellite.

 

Nous attendons avec impatience les découvertes et les données que l'IMECE Satellite nous apportera au cours de sa mission de cinq ans. L'avenir de l'exploration spatiale s'annonce prometteur, et Exxelia continuera à jouer un rôle actif dans cette aventure passionnante.
