Historical Invocon developed the External Wireless Instrumentation System (EWIS) to provide long-term structural dynamics measurements of the International Space Station (ISS) solar array trusses while deployed on-orbit. Due to the rotating joints that allow the solar arrays to track the sun throughout the orbit, installing wired sensors was prohibitively expensive and complex. The wireless interface…

Historical The MITE WIS system is a wireless data acquisition system for near-static sensing and recording applications. It is a multi-channel cousin to and can operate in conjunction with both the ELMWIS™ and MicroWIS-XG™systems. The MITE WIS Remote Unit (pictured) is a small, extremely low-power, autonomous, wireless device designed for extended data acquisition and recording. The units can be configured…

Historical The Wireless Strain Gauge Instrumentation System is a wireless, high-speed, synchronized data acquisition network for dynamic sensing, recording, and processing applications using resistive transducers. The system includes WSGIS Remote Units, a Receiver Unit, and Application Software. The WSGIS Remote Unit is a small, battery-powered, autonomous, wireless device designed for acquisition and recording of high-speed strain data. The unit…

Historical MMA is a system for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to monitor micro-vibrations on the International Space Station, ISS. The Japanese ISS module will have multiple experiments performed in the micro-g environment. MMA will help correlate any experimental anomalies with ISS vibrations. These extraneous vibrations may be caused from spacecraft docking or from…
