Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) plays an ever-increasing role as a key digital backbone standard for modular open system architectures (MOSA) in aerospace and defense. TSN is also widely used in the automotive sector and industrial automation.

Meet the TTTECH space team at the Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, Europe's leading event for space engineering, innovation, and the end-to-end supply chain. From November 18-20, we can be found at our partner company Peak Technology’s booth (B42), where we will showcase network switches and modular avionics platform solutions.

TTTECH has been providing a PC-based tool suite to configure entire Deterministic Ethernet networks as well as all network devices (switches and end systems) for more than 20 years. It currently supports use cases in the aviation, space, automotive, and energy sectors. The tool suite has evolved over the years to support new operating systems and the latest devices in TTTECH’s product portfolio, as well as to add new functionalities.

Das TU-Spin-Off TTTECH liefert seit Jahrzehnten erfolgreich Technologie für die globale Weltraumindustrie und ist bei großen internationalen Programmen beteiligt.Eine der Grundlagen für diesen Erfolg ist die aufwändige Produktentwicklung und –weiterentwicklung, die durch Anschubfinanzierungen der FFG und Österreichs ESA-Beiträge unterstützt wurde und wird.TTTECH ist inzwischen mit seinen Lösungen gut positioniert für weiteres Wachstum - in etablierten Programmen interna

Space transportation vehicles require embedded real-time systems for guidance navigation and control (GNC) as well as for telemetry and telecommand, and video streaming. TTTECH Aerospace’s new, integrated deterministic Ethernet switch solution TTESwitch MYTHOS allows to integrate GNC, telemetry data, and video streaming on a single network without any interference to the safety-critical GNC data.

Critical avionics systems for the NASA habitation module for astronauts (called HALO) are being developed, produced, and assembled in Vienna, Austria, by TTTech and Beyond Gravity Austria. The HALO module is manufactured in Italy and will, in February, be delivered to the USA. This is an important milestone for the Gateway and the NASA Artemis program. 

How TTTech Aerospace supported the development of the Ariane 6 avionics backbone and the benefits of a TTEthernet data networkIn July Europe’s new launcher Ariane 6 completed its first flight, boosting the European space transportation market and its first commercial flight will take place soon.

The NASA Artemis program is one of the largest space projects of our time and will continue to include future generations. Technology from Austria is playing a big part. The Viennese high-tech company TTTech is on board, among others, on the Lunar Gateway space station and delivers communication technology for the setup of the data network (essentially the ‘central nervous system’).
