CARLSBAD, Calif. -
ViaSat (NASDAQ: VSAT) has executed a contract with Boeing (NYSE: BA) to build ViaSat-2, which is based on ViaSat's next generation, Ka-band satellite technology and architecture. ViaSat-2 is expected to be, by far, the world's highest capacity satellite at the time of launch (scheduled for mid-2016) achieving an unparalleled mix of capacity and coverage. ViaSat-2 is anticipated to approximately double the bandwidth economics of ViaSat-1 while simultaneously increasing its coverage foo...

Sept 2007 Universiteit:
Graduate internship: “Design and Realization of a setup for Mechanical tests on a
MEMS based Micro Gravity-Gradiometer”
Design and realization of a test setup suitable for mechanical test in vacuum. The design includes selection and integration of a piezoelectric actuator. Scope is to perform mechanical tests on a miniaturized gravity gradiometer realized from a 10 cm diameter silicon wafer in order to estimate mechanical parameters (spring constant k, and quality factor Q) needed for the characterization of the device.
Validation of the test setup: vacuum tests, dynamical behavior, noise characterization. Spectral Analysis, Error Estimation, Performance Evaluation.
