Quantic MWD (Microwave Dynamics), a business of Quantic Electronics, announced the expansion of their commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components to include a new series of dielectric resonator oscillators (DROs) designed for optimal performance in space applications. The new DROs, the DRO-1080 and DRO-1087, provide customers with highly reliable solutions tailored to the requirements and exacting conditions of space applications.
As space has become more accessible and the volume of missions has increased, the demand has also grown for high-performance components capable of withstanding the rugged conditions of space, including radiation, temperature, vibration, and/or hermiticity considerations.
Quantic Microwave Dynamics' new DRO-1000 series designed to withstand the harshest conditions of space.
The newly expanded offering of COTS oscillators feature frequency ranging from 1-18 GHz (DRO-1080) and 18-36 GHz (DRO-1087), with low phase noise of -90 dBC/Hz at 10 GHz, and hermetically sealed Kovar packages in compliance with MIL-PRF-38534, ASA, ESA, JAXA, ISRO, CNSA, and RFSA military and aerospace standards.
"The expansion of our COTS product line represents a significant advancement," said Gerardo Camacho, Director of Business Development, Quantic MWD. "This offering builds on our space industry expertise and enables the qualification of COTS products for a variety of demanding space missions."

Happy Holden, I-Connect007
While IPC was hosting its annual SummerCom mid-year standards event, WHMA was hosting its own “wire show,” co-located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During IPC SummerCom 2023 more than 90 meetings from May 13–18 were conducted, ranging from very small to very large groups. Some meetings only lasted an hour, while others were four to eight hours. WHMA is a much smaller technical association than IPC, but it provides the connectivity between our boards, assemblies, and the myriad sensors and actuators used in modern electrical and electronic systems. Wire is the principal conduit, but the variety and complexity of these configurations seem endless.

Boeing and Shield AI have signed a memorandum of understanding to explore strategic collaboration in the areas of autonomous capabilities and artificial intelligence on current and future defense programs. Shield AI created Hivemind, an artificial intelligence pilot that has flown a variety of aircraft. According to Shield AI, the AI pilot can also enable swarms of drones and aircraft to operate autonomously without GPS, communications or a human pilot in the cockpit.

I-Connect007 Editorial Team
With multiple advanced degrees in aerospace science, Emily Calandrelli could have had her pick of any project in earth and space science. Instead, she has chosen to use her skills in science policy and communication to break down complex science topics, advocate for women in STEM fields, and bolster enthusiasm for the next generation of scientists through her own Netflix show and an active slate of social media accounts. Emily’s platform is huge, but it's one that she wholeheartedly embraces. In this interview with the I-Connect007 Editorial Team, Emily talks about her unconventional entry into science, what’s ahead for space commerce, advice for industry leaders, and what she really thinks about going into space.
