Across vast distances
Complex Communications Across Vast Distances
Space exploration and communication requires datalinks across millions of miles of space. Whether it be from Earth to Mars or from the International Space Station to Earth, long-distance object control relies upon space links that are low-bandwidth, high-delay and lossy. NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) rely upon Connext for remote operations, many miles from the control center.
Integrate Large-Scale Systems
Artemis 1 & NASA Kennedy Space Center
RTI Connext provides communications software that is a critical core component of the launch-certified Spacecraft Command and Control System (SCCS) for NASA’s Artemis 1 Mission.
Human Robot Interaction Laboratory
European Space Agency
ESA uses Connext for communication and video to demonstrate long-distance object control from aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
Outer Space Human-to-Robot Communication
NASA
NASA relies on RTI Connext because of its inherent tolerance of time delay and loss of signal that occur with signals sent across the vast distances separating the space station, satellites and land-based devices.
Distributing Critical Data for Space Exploration
NASA VIPER
RTI Connext will be able to help control and monitor a highly data-intensive network during NASA’s Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) mission.
Clear Views Into Outer Space
A new generation of very large telescopes are ushering in important scientific discoveries through clear views into outer space. These massive instruments require adaptive optics technology to correct for the effects of the Earth’s atmosphere on observations. Distortions must be detected and corrected rapidly, with mirror adjustments of upwards of thousands of times per second.
Adaptive Optics Technology
Durham University Centre for Advanced Instrumentation
One of the world’s foremost research institutions uses RTI Connext in the lab and in real-world deployments in very large telescopes to handle real-time information flow and reliably, at scale.
Advance Precision Science
European Southern Observatory
Connext coordinates precise control and measurement for the 39-meter Extremely Large Telescope, under construction - the world’s largest optical telescope.
Advanced Weather Technology
University of OK and NOAA
The University of Oklahoma and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) collaborate on advanced weather technology, relying on Connext for real-time radar processing.
