Pressure Transducers for Interplanetary Exploration
All Categories
Tavis satellite transducers have provided propulsion measurements for journeys to orbit other planets, while other Tavis instruments have actually landed on planetary surfaces or measured pressures as the spacecraft plummets through other solar system atmospheres.
Previous hardware for missions to Mars, Jupiter, Venus and the Moon have featured one or more of the following:
