To NASA, Invocon has become a valuable alternative to the products and services
from traditional suppliers. Our ability to take a problem rapidly from concept to delivery has
allowed Invocon to compete head-to-head with international corporations.
Other NASA Projects
NASA
has awarded an SBIR Phase II contract to Invocon for WEBDAS™ (Wireless
Ethernet-Based Data Acquisition System).
This system
enables the use of existing Ethernet hardware and Web-based IT resources for the
configuration, acquisition, transmission, and display of sensor data from
extremely low-power RF sensors.

NASA
concluded a series of foam impact tests using the
Wide-Band Micro-Miniature Tri-Axial Accelerometer Units, (WB MicroTAU), at
Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in San Antonio, Texas. The tests
simulated the damage caused by external tank foam debris observed striking Space
Shuttle Orbiter Columbia 81 seconds after its launch on January 16, 2003.
