ATNF engineering research programs focus on developing, and applying, new technology and advanced design techniques to radio astronomy and allied fields. ... There are three groups within the ATNF engineering structure: . ... This project, designed to allow rapid alternation between radio astronomy and spacecraft tracking modes, was undertaken in collaboration with outside consultants and received an honourable mention in the the 1997 Institution of Engineers (Australia) awards program. ...

... Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a comparatively new design methodology, which enhances productivity and leads to better overall designs. ... In the development of a product, there are many ``downstream'' aspects to be considered. ... These aspects represent different phases in the product's life-cycle. ... Another advantage of CE is that, while knowledge is being built up about the design of the product, additional knowledge is being acquired about the other aspects of its life-cycle. ...

... Report on Cosmic Call 1999 . ... Cosmic Call Sessions . ... This Report outlines methodology, hard- and software, which were developed to transmit first public Interstellar messages from Evpatoria Deep Space Center (EDSC), and describes four Cosmic Call Sessions, which were fulfilled in EDSC on May 24 and June 30 - July 1, 1999. ... Each Cosmic Call consists of two parts. ... Dutil Message, . ... The software for gathering all messages and creating the Cosmic Call stream, was written on C language. ...

... Ranger 9 was designed to achieve a lunar impact trajectory and to transmit high-resolution photographs of the lunar surface during the final minutes of flight. The spacecraft carried six television cameras, an optical earth sensor and high-gain antenna for optimum communications, and solar panels to provide power, as well as additional engineering equipment. ... The spacecraft encountered the lunar surface with an incoming asymptotic direction at an angle of -5.6 degrees from the lunar equator. ...

... Previous: The GBT Precision Telescope Control System . ... In the framework of a Memorandum Of Understanding jointly signed by ESO and OAC, the OAC has been committed to design and realize the VST telescope, software included. ... This constraint translates into pros and cons for OAC side, because many software utilities developed for VLT are available, but their migration to VST case requires a deep knowledge of all details, usually known to the original software developers only. ...

... Small spacecraft bus (SSB) is developed for small spacecraft, operating on near-Earth orbits or interplanetary trajectories (to the Moon, Mars etc.) ... The unit mass is 2.8 kg. Solar sensors with 130x2° FOV, 6 ang. min accuracy, and 2x0.34 kg mass. Star sensor with star-identifying controller, 56° FOV, 3 ang. min accuracy, and 0.51 kg mass. ... SSB is capable to control the spacecraft, including the attitude. ... The bus was fully manufactured for the Cosmos 1 (Solar Sail) project (2005). ...
