Contact: Ian Getreu
Email: Getreu@ozarkic.com
Areas of Expertise:
In situ electronics for the Venus surface.
Ozark IC has considerable expertise and experience in high-temperature (500°C) circuitry that can operate for 100's or 1,000's of hours on the Venus surface.
The electronic circuitry can be digital, mixed-signal or analog. Ozark IC has unique hardware-qualified design capability for Silicon Carbide (SiC) integrated circuits, including Process Design Kits (PDKs), tools, design methods and building blocks (from op amps to ADCs, DACs and very large scale digital logic).
Ozark IC also has a patented UV detector fabricated in silicon-carbide that is 30,000 times more responsive than equivalently-sized alternatives that can be integrated with electronic circuitry (for example, to create a UV pixel for spectroscopy or imaging).
Ozark IC is well versed with NASA requirements. NASA SBIR projects that Ozark IC has worked on, or is working on, that are suitable for the Venus surface include:
• A 2-D UV imager (NASA)
• A 16-bit microcontroller (NASA)
• A PDK and RS-485 communication link (NASA)
Ozark IC would like to participate in the NASA New Frontiers program.

Areas of Expertise:
Space qualify your high-risk materials and electronics for your space missions using the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE-FF) Flight Facility on the International Space Station (ISS). The MISSE-FF gives aerospace companies and researchers unprecedented access to the space environment with on-orbit HD images and real-time data.
MISSE-FF is fixed to the exterior of the ISS where experiments endure extreme levels of solar- and charged-particle radiation, atomic oxygen, hard vacuum, and 16 cycles per day of temperature extremes with little-to-no contamination. MISSE yields accelerated and accurate testing results for experiments varying from space suits and flight hardware to car paint and electronics.
Alpha Space provides a turn key solution which includes integration, launch, sample return and one year on orbit with samples on RAM, WAKE & ZENITH! Through our privately-owned MISSE Facility, you can send your payload to the ISS and evaluate the performance, stability, and long-term survivability of materials and components.

Contact: Kieran A. Carroll
Email: kieran.carroll@gedex.com
Areas of Expertise:
Gedex is developing a 2kg absolute vector gravimeter for use in Lunar and asteroid surface rover missions. This can be used to conduct gravimetric surveys/traverses on the Moon, asteroids and comets, to provide indications of the subsurface density distribution. This instrument could be of use as part of a South Pole-Aitken Basin mission carrying a rover, and as part of a Comet Sample Return mission or a Trojan Tour and Rendezvous mission capable of carrying a deployable lander/rover. Gedex also has designed (with the University of Toronto's Space Flight Lab) an asteroid lander/rover which may be adaptable to the latter two missions. The Canadian Space Agency is well aware of these developments, and has co-funded the gravimeter development.
