Home – Coventry & Warwickshire Aerospace Forum

Posted on by

The Coventry and Warwickshire Aerospace Forum is a group of world-class manufacturing businesses working individually or collaboratively to ensure Aerospace customers need only one point of contact; whether it is a single enquiry for a make to print precision machined component or a more complex engineered solution the group maintains a focus on the key drivers of quality, cost, delivery and responsiveness.

The CWAF does a tremendous job promoting the world class aerospace capability in CW LEP area and driving forward projects and collaborations that are helping build the skills, capabilities and quality required to compete globally.

The CWAF has played a key role, as part of the High Value Manufacturing Group, in helping shape CW LEP strategy and priorities so that the LEP can deliver relevant and practical actions to support this sector to grow and flourish in our region. The CW LEP is delighted to have the CWAF engaged and we look forward to working together on exciting future projects

Ball Aerospace Integrates Two of Five Instruments for JPSS-1

Posted on by

Two of the five instruments scheduled to fly on the nation's next polar-orbiting weather satellite, NOAA's Joint Polar Satellite System -1, have been integrated to the spacecraft bus by prime contractor Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.

The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite-Nadir (OMPS-N) along with the Clouds and Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments are now aboard the spacecraft. Next up is the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) set to arrive in February. The satellite is on schedule for delivery to NOAA and launch in 2017. JPSS-1 is critical for continuity of long-standing atmospheric, ocean and land measurements currently provided by the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) mission. The Suomi NPP satellite launched in 2011 and was also built by Ball Aerospace.

"Integration of JPSS-1 continues to proceed on schedule," saidCary Ludtke, vice president and general manager of Ball's Operational Space business unit. "NOAA and NASA are reaping enormous benefit from the Suomi NPP satellite, and maintaining that continuity makes the timely completion and launch of JPSS-1 very important to our nation."

The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite-Nadir (OMPS-N) was built by Ball Aerospace. OMPS-N data is used at NOAA for numerical weather prediction modeling and a variety of environmental observations, like volcanic ash monitoring to aid in aircraft safety warnings. CERES, built by Northrop Grumman's Aerospace Systems division for NASA's Langley Research Center inHampton, Virginia, measures the reflected sunlight and thermal radiation emitted by the Earth, two components of the Earth's Radiation Budget (ERB). Ball also anticipates arrival of the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrlS) in the first quarter of 2015 with the Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) to follow.

NOAA is responsible for the funding and requirements for JPSS and teams with NASA, which procures the flight and portions of the ground segment. NOAA is also responsible for operations of the satellites and instruments after launch. Under contract to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Ball Aerospace is responsible for designing and building the JPSS-1 satellite bus, the OMPS instrument, integrating all instruments, and performing satellite-level testing and launch support.

Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. supports critical missions for national agencies such as the Department of Defense, NASA, NOAA and other U.S. government and commercial entities. The company develops and manufactures spacecraft, advanced instruments and sensors, components, data exploitation systems and RF solutions for strategic, tactical and scientific applications.

Ball Corporation (NYSE: BLL) supplies innovative, sustainable packaging solutions for beverage, food and household products customers, as well as aerospace and other technologies and services primarily for the U.S. government. Ball Corporation and its subsidiaries employ 14,500 people worldwide and reported 2013 sales of$8.5 billion. For more information, visitwww.ball.com, or connect with us on Facebook or Twitter.

STG Aerospace Appoints New Engineering Director

Posted on by

Aircraft cabin lighting specialists, STG Aerospace, is delighted to announce the appointment of Neil Thomas as Engineering Director. A graduate in Electronic Engineering, a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Manager, Neil joins the company having worked in airline cabin and avionics environments for more than 20 years, specialising in leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams and providing the technical interface to customers, including STC documentation and support.

As Sales Engineering Manager at Page Aerospace, Neil gained specific experience of cabin ceiling and sidewall fluorescent systems as well as LED-based accent lighting and exit signs. During the ten years he spent with Pascall Electronics, he also dealt with power supplies for passenger aircraft IFE and fileservers, subsequently expanding that business to include RF & Microwave programs enabling in-flight mobile phone and Wi-Fi use.

Neil has also worked in the passenger interface and seating environment where rugged reliable products are key to prevent user damage and improve aircraft despatch reliability. Due to the visibility of seat products to the airline and passenger, the quality and consistency of the LED backlighting as well as its luminance and colour match to other parts around it are critical.

Commenting on his new appointment, Neil said:Im very much looking forward to making a real contribution to the future of STG Aerospace. The company has already established an excellent reputation as a great innovator and the future looks set to be an exciting one.

Nigel Duncan, CEO of STG Aerospace, added:Were delighted that Neil has joined STG Aerospace. His background, experience and skills will be a significant asset to us as we continue to pioneer new lighting technologies and build on our position as a key player in the aircraft cabin lighting market.
