Space Systems, Inc (SSI) is the conceptual R&D and space technology innovations division of AA Institute (AAI). It was established in August 2002 initially to design, develop and, where necessary, procure leading edge technologies in support of AAI�s un-piloted, initially micro scale aerospace launch initiative - dubbed the �Rocketry & Aerospace program�. The Division�s core technology innovations remit has since been extended to support a much wider and more demanding environment of advanced space science research activities currently planned by the AA Institute. �Cheap Access to Space Technology� (CAST) is an AAI commissioned program which is designed to explore the low cost availability and easy access to every day technology hardware for enhancement and use in a variety of space science applications. Specific details relating to actual SSI projects will not be published in the public domain for proprietary reasons, but summary releases communicating hi-tech developments to the international web community are planned for publication on this site. Below are just some of the exciting applications areas which Space Systems, Inc. will address as part of its highly innovative future development program:-
By virtue of this all proprietary developments, capabilities and other benefits that accrue from SSI�s R&D efforts shall be for the sole benefit of the AA Institute of Space Science & Technology. As we have seen through history in both the US and Russia, many space science applications often have Earth-based side benefits (e.g. civilian GPS, robotics, etc) and SSI developments are expected to have many direct benefits for us all! |
