Spirent Federal Chosen to Support NASA for GNSS Testing
November 12, 2020 | Business WireEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Spirent Federal Systems, a leading provider of GPS and GNSS test equipment, announced that it has been selected by NASA for testing GNSS for lunar exploration.
The U.S. Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Policy tasks the NASA Administrator to develop and provide requirements for the use of GPS and its augmentations to support civil space systems. NASA is exploring the viability and enhancement of GPS and GNSS signals in the Space Service Volume (SSV) and beyond to support operational U.S. missions and civil space systems. Spirent GNSS solutions and expertise will support testing of the GNSS receivers intended to be deployed in the upcoming lunar exploration.
“For over two decades NASA and other space users have selected us to provide leading-edge test and development solutions for missions ranging from short suborbital flights to weeks-long orbits beyond geosynchronous altitudes,” said Ellen Hall, President. “Working collaboratively with our customers enables us to meet their demanding test and development needs with the trusted solutions for which Spirent is known.”

Target Condition: From Dream House to Drill Files
06/05/2025 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionIf you caught the movie “Barbie,” you may have laughed at its over-the-top utopia where every day begins with perfect weather, perfect smiles, and a perfectly pink commute. But beyond the plastic glam, the film subtly critiques the illusion of perfection—a message that feels surprisingly relevant to the world of PCB design and manufacturing.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Defects in Circuit Board Production
06/04/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionWe all agree that in any manufacturing process, reducing defects in your product induced during manufacture (aka increasing yields) is a good thing. Doing so, however, can be a source of contention and frustration. I don’t pretend to be an expert in this field, because most of my work involves feasibility studies for new concepts or testing improvements made to existing equipment. High yields were usually not a factor; it’s simply about having enough data to prove or disprove a concept or seeing whether improvements to equipment design actually work. However, here are some observations I made visiting quality shops where high production at high yields was important.

It’s Only Common Sense: Trust Is All You Need
06/02/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseTrust is all you need, and the best way to build it is by showing that others have placed their faith in you. This is where social proof becomes a game-changer. Social proof is a psychological phenomenon that influences people to follow others’ actions, especially in uncertain situations. By leveraging social proof, businesses can attract customers and close deals more efficiently. Here’s how to incorporate social proof into your strategy and watch your closing rate soar.
