This week @ULSF work proceeds around the world, while Alex Csete @csete is engaging Ultra Light Space Comms #ULSC.

Alex is a physicist by training, and lists his Google Profile Super Power as “ANSI C”.  ESA’s ATV and Gaia spacecraft systems seem to agree.  Like all @ULSF principals, Alex chases results with a careful liss between obsession and discipline.   A writer writes, a painter paints, and engineers build new systems.

The ULSC Embedded Video Processing and Radio Unit project takes aim at the telemetry and telecommand (TM/TC) part of our future space craft, incorporating HD video and tracking and ranging.

In this diagram, above, the high bandwidth video subsystem is emphasized in its proximity to the TM/TC coders and the RF transponder.
