Tri-Band Beacon for NASA’s Orion Spacecraft

MMInc.’s Tri-Band Beacon

Orion is NASAs premiere space vehicle developed to send humans to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, and return them safely to earth. Microwave Monolithics’ Space Qualified Tri-Band Beacon (TBB) is a crucial component on Orion, providing accurate and reliable location information from anywhere in the world in case of catastrophic systems failure. It is mounted inside the crew compartment of Orion and is totally self-contained; it will continue to operate even if all other Orion power and communications systems have failed. The high reliability TBB is the astronaut’s last link to rescue should disaster strike.
