SLS PERFORMS GROUNDING SIMULATION FOR GORDIE HOWE INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE PROJECT SLS worked with both AECOM and Dominion Lightning Rod of Dundas, Ontario to create a computer-based model of the grounding system for the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will connect Detroit, Michigan and Ontario, Canada. SLS performed a series of complex grounding simulations to […]

SLS DEPLOYS METEOROLOGICAL STATION AT COMMERCIAL LAUNCH PAD SLS was contracted by a commercial launch provider to design and install custom meteorological monitoring stations at their launch pad. Prior to the main equipment deployment during summer 2020, SLS installed a single station to provide real-time wind, temperature, and relative humidity measurements during the construction phase. Data are

SLS PROVIDES CUSTOM JUPITER TMS UNITS FOR B-2 TEST STAND AT STENNIS SPACE CENTER SLS custom designed two Jupiter TMS units for installation on the B-2 Test Stand at Stennis Space Center. The systems will continuously capture the outputs of Rogowski current probes installed on the umbilical cables to the massive Space Launch System core

JUPITER TMS INSTALLED AT NESTLÈ PREPARED FOODS SLS worked with Nestlè Prepared Foods in Gaffney, South Carolina to install two Jupiter Transient Monitoring Systems (TMS). The systems will provide continuous, unattended monitoring and reporting for all transients on the incoming power feeds- lightning-generated or otherwise. Categories News Publications Projects

JUPITER OLS/TMS INSTALLED AT LAUNCH COMPLEX 46 FOR ORION AA-2 MISSION SLS was contracted by NASA to provide precision lightning detection/location services for the upcoming Orion Ascent Abort 2 (AA-2) Mission, which will fly from the newly renovated Launch Complex 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.  The AA-2 mission will test the critical launch abort

SLS VERIFIES NEW LAUNCH COMPLEX 46 LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM SLS performed the lightning protection system design for Space Florida’s Launch Complex 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.  After the system was fully constructed, SLS performed a full lightning protection inspection to verify compliance with the NFPA-780 and AFI 32-1065 standards.  The inspection included a

SLS D-DOT SENSORS INSTALLED AT KSC LAUNCH COMPLEX 39B SLS was contracted by Jacobs Engineering to provide ruggedized D-dot sensors for Launch Complex 39B (LC-39B) at the Kennedy Space Center.  LC-39B will support future launches of NASA’s revolutionary Space Launch System rocket, designed to carry astronauts to Mars and other deep-space destinations.  SLS installed 10 D-dot

SLS DEPLOYS JUPITER OLS AND JUPITER TMS FOR NASA’S ICON MISSION NASA’s ICON payload, carrying an array of instruments to collect images of the ionosphere and measure characteristics of the space environment, will depart from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station Skid Strip in late October aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL air-launched vehicle.  The

SLS DEPLOYS JUPITER OLS/TMS FOR HISTORIC PARKER SOLAR PROBE MISSION SLS designed and deployed a state-of-the-art lightning monitoring system for the NASA Launch Services Program (LSP) to provide precision lightning detection, location, and characterization for the upcoming Parker Solar Probe mission, scheduled for launch on August 4th, 2018 from Delta Launch Complex 37 at Cape

ROCKET LAUNCH SUCCESS: SLS’ JUPITER TMS LIGHTNING MONITORING JPSS-1 (Joint Polar Satellite System), the second next-generation NOAA polar-orbiting operational environment spacecraft, launched from Vandenberg Airforce Base in California on November 18, 2017 atop a Delta II rocket. JPSS-1 will provide forecasters and scientists with global coverage of severe weather events, in addition to advanced atmospheric,
