Let Bliley be your spacecraft’s precision timing and frequency distribution source

Satellite-hand-drawn-3

#BlileyOnBoard

The space industry is going through a tremendous paradigm shift. Companies like SpaceX, Rocket Labs, and Blue Origin are making access to space more affordable. The need for triple-redundant, over-engineered, 'exquisite' space hardware is disappearing. A new approach to risk management is needed in order to achieve low- cost, high-reliable solutions to compete in the space revolution. This is true for both large GEO satellites and MEO/LEO satellite constellations with thousands of smaller satellites.

Bliley is enabling the universe's largest constellations into this New Space revolution. We understand that every constellation & spacecraft has its unique set of requirements. Bliley offers custom designed solutions using standardized core technologies. This includes our Medusa Series and Iris Series products during RFI/RFP stages to ensure all design trades are properly explored.

Bliley is leading the way for new space communications

Bliley is proud to provide the heartbeat of precision spacecrafts with over 50 years of space heritage experience (and counting).

We start with our ultra stable and high performing space Crystals, TCXOs, and OCXOs as the fundamental timing source. We’ve built a modular design approach that allows our customers to uniquely define their spacecrafts timing needs.

From a highly stabilized low frequency (1MHz to 160MHz) quartz clock (with or without amplified multi-channel distribution), to a fully integrated synthesized multi-frequency Local Oscillators (LO) (up to 22GHz with amplified multi-channel distribution)… We have the building blocks!

Bliley’s new space product lines are specifically designed for New Space (LEO/MEO) radiation environments. Our innovative approach includes the following:

  • Maximize the use of COTS (Commercial-Off-The-Shelf) components with a strict guideline and up-screening process to ensure radiation survivability
  • Radiation hardness by design to ensure graceful degradation of critical specs
  • Inherent tin-whisker mitigations to allow for the use of automotive and lead-free parts

We leverage our in-depth catalog of up-screened components with heritage combined with other radiation harden strategies to meet your mission life.

Bliley is leading the way for new space communications

We specialize in GPS disciplined oscillators (GPSDO) that take advantage of lower altitude satellite constellations that have access to GPS timing signals. Our many years of highly-reliable military Assured PNT driven technologies are perfectly transferable to our new space communication applications. Precision timing is our specialty!

So, add #BlileyOnBoard to be your spacecraft’s fully space proven timing device, Master Reference Oscillator (MRO), and/or Frequency Generation Unit (FGU) as the precision heartbeat solution of your satellite’s sophisticated payload that requires a synchronized frequency control.

If you're team is ready to think differently about an approach to space timing & communications, we're here to take you further.

Connect and GO!

The fully integrated Medusa space solution allows Bliley to fully customize each “Slice” as required for the mission. The bottom of the Slice is designed to transfer the heat to the spacecrafts heat pipes. Once the product is delivered to the customer’s assembly site, you simply bolt, connect power, communications I/O, and RF signals and GO!

* Weight shown is an average weight of a single slice with redundant functionality. Weights will slightly change based on actual solution implemented. A full weight calculation will be provided by Bliley.
