SatCon Electronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SatCon Technology Corporation, has been awarded over $1,000,000 in contracts for Class K circuits from two major North American satellite subcontractors. These custom signal-processing devices are used in inertial navigation and guidance control computers.
Managed by The Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC), Class K device manufacturing provides the industry’s highest quality and reliability for electronic parts through a number of specifications, standards, and test methods. Class K requirements address the special needs of space users and are a class of product routinely used in space flight hardware. SatCon Electronics is one of a select few manufacturers in the United States with Class K certification.
“We are extremely pleased with our continued success and penetration in the satellite market,” said Jack Worthen, President, SatCon Electronics, “This brings our year-to-date Class K bookings total to $1.7 million. We expect Class K shipments to increase from roughly $100,000 in fiscal 2006 to over $2.0 million in fiscal 2007. By participating in this growing multi-million dollar market, we expect a significant portion of our revenue and future growth to be associated with space flight applications.”
