Satellite and subsystem testing in RF-Chamber
Ground-site quality assurance for satellites and its subsystems is one of, if not the most, critical steps for satellite mission success. Dr. Andis has been doing this for more than 10 years in DLR (German Aerospace Agency) and Spire together for various SDR (Software Defined Radio) based payloads.
Services we offer:
1) Software design and review for automations to speed up satellite testing, including OTA (Over the Air) payload testing in RF-Chamber
2) Review of test observables for the payload module or satellite under test. E.g. analysis of quality concerns and converting that into measurable observables for RF-testing.
3) Programming interfaces to external instruments for test measurements, e.g. Rhode&Schwarz SMBV100A, FSW, RIGOL MSO 8000, LeCroy WaveSurfer 4000HD, which support python-VISA programming interfaces.
R&D for breakthrough propulsion systems in Space
Today's rocket propulsion technology relies on the Newtonian 2nd law formulated in 1686 applied in Goddard's rocket principle demonstrated in 1926. It is seeking innovation. Similarly to how a discovery of a transistor gave rise to building electronics, but the discovery of quantum mechanics brought it to the next level, some revolutionary technology is needed to help make space transportation simple, affordable and environmentally friendly.
Electro-Gravitics is a relatively new topic to physics and holds a great potential for improved transportation applications. R&D services offered in this direction:
1) Research in C.Poher’s space-thruster applications and commercializations. For technical details refer to: "Gravity & Matter Quantum Behaviour from Accelerations, during Electric discharges into Graphite-Based Superconductor”, C.Poher. Applied Physics Research; Vol. 12, No. 3; 2020.
2) Research in rotating superconductors' impact to mass. For technical details refer to: "On the Mechanism for a Gravity Effect using Type II Superconductors”, Glen A. Robertson, NASA, 1999. Also to works of E.Podkletnov and M.Tajmar.
3) Research in rotating magnets' impact to gravity. For technical details refer to: "Theory of Physical Vacuum”, A.Akimov & G.Shipov (in Russian). Also books "New Gravitational Effects from Rotating Masses” by Fran de Aquino, 2013; "Gravity-Superconductors Interactions Theory and Experiment” by G.Modanese, 2012.

Maritime industry automations and optimisations with VDES
It was 2002 when IMO issued a mandate for all Class A vessels to be equipped with AIS transponders for collision avoidance. It sprouted a huge industry on AIS data gathered over terrestrial and satellite networks. In 2020 ITU approved frequency allocation for VDES use, thus opening doors to a brand new communications technology standard for maritime. The technology holds a great potential to revolutionise ship to shore communication, supporting more automations and planning around the port activities. We bring 12 years of AIS + VDES industry experience, encouraged to collaborate towards maritime digitalisation.
Services we offer:
1) Strategy development for success in the VDES market.
2) Application and its business-case development for use over the VDES network.
3) SAT-VDES product & strategy development.
4) VDES over IP ecosystem development.
5) AIS and VDES data analytics.
Data analytics
“Who owns the information, he owns the world" is relevant in our digital age. As data becomes more complex and increases in size, real-time data analytics with decisions supporting metrics becomes progressively valuable.
Services we offer:
1) Data analytics in Google’s BigQuery+DataStudio, AWS RDS SQL.
2) Data analysis and visualisations in python+Matplotlib, Numpy, Pandas, Bokeh; Kepler, MATLAB.
3) Data visualisations in Tableau.
Change management
“Change is the only constant”. What can be seen as exciting opportunities for growth can result with disorganisation and resistance if not managed well. We offer to take a systematic and supportive approach to handle your company’s digital transformation.
Services we offer:
1) Identify strategy, shared values, style of leadership,
2) Breakdown structure and understand systems,
3) Capitalise on existing skills and add to staff development.
