TTTech Aerospace and its space products design and manufacturing partner RUAG Space will deliver the TTEthernet network and computing platform for the Gateway’s habitation and logistics outpost (HALO) built by Northrop Grumman HALO will serve as temporary living quarters for the astronauts preparing to land on the moon, offering necessities such as life support systems and storage, as well as communication and docking capabilities.

NASA's Gateway is part of a program that plans to land the first woman and first person of color on the moon. The habitation and logistics outpost (HALO), built by Northrop Grumman, will provide temporary living quarters for astronauts on their way to the moon. It will offer necessities such as life support systems and storage, as well as communication and docking capabilities.  TTTech Aerospace and RUAG Space will deliver the TTEthernet network and computing platform for HALO.

TTTech Aerospace has appointed industry expert Aaron Tsang as VP Engineering & Product Development Aerospace. He will lead the aerospace and space research and development team at TTTech Group’s headquarters in Vienna, Austria from May 10, 2021.

TTTech Aerospace has updated its TTETools development suite to version 5.5, further increasing user-friendliness, flexibility and performance. TTETools offers users the key building blocks for setting up TTEthernet networks. The toolchain is made up of generic development products that support TTTech Aerospace’s complete TTEthernet product line for a range of industries and customer use cases.

TTTech Aerospace wird zusammen mit RUAG Space, einem starken Konstruktions- und Fertigungspartner, die TTEthernet-Netzwerkplattform für das Energie- und Antriebselement (Power and Propulsion Element - PPE) für das NASA-Gateway bereitstellen, das von Maxar entwickelt und gebaut wird.

TTTech Aerospace together with RUAG Space, a strong design and manufacturing partner, will provide the TTEthernet network platform for the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) for NASA’s Gateway being designed and built by Maxar PPE will be the main power source of Gateway, the orbiting cislunar outpost built by NASA and its many partners TTEthernet was baselined by NASA and other space agencies for deep space missions and the related Artemis program

TTTech Aerospace has been selected by Maxar Technologies to provide the TTEthernet network platform for the Power and Propulsion Element (PPE) for NASA's Gateway. The PPE will provide power, maneuvering, attitude control and communications for the lunar orbiting outpost. Gateway is a foundational part of NASA’s Artemis program, which aims to land the first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024 and eventually enable future crewed missions to Mars.

Vienna, Austria / Houston, TX, USA, June 26, 2020: Industry expert Robert T. (Bob) Richards has been appointed Vice President, Space at TTTech North America and will head a newly opened office and development lab in Houston, Texas. The office directly supports NASA’s Johnson Space Center as well as U.S. prime contractors involved in cislunar and lunar surface exploration.

Washington D.C., USA/Vienna, Austria, October 24, 2019 Space supplier RUAG Space and high-tech company TTTech are offering high-performance data exchange electronics for Lunar Gateway modules – in time for the ARTEMIS Mission challenge in 2024.

RUAG Space, a leading space supplier, and TTTech, a leader in high-tech network technology, are teaming up to provide space electronics for the NASA space station “Lunar Gateway”. In 2011, via a Space Act Agreement, TTTech and NASA standardized TTEthernet technology as an open industry standard i.e. SAE AS6802 together with several industry partners.

After a duration of almost four years, the EU funded project to create a Space Ethernet Physical Layer Transceiver (SEPHY) was completed at the end of 2018. A prototype chip was developed and built by the project partners from industry and academia which can now be qualified for space applications, but also for use in other environments where harsh conditions like radiation place special requirements on communication devices.

TTTech recently signed a long-term development agreement with European space market leader Airbus Safran Launchers to utilize TTEthernet as avionics backbone in the Ariane 6 family of launchers.
