Additional Tracking Mode Offers a New Twist on Refresh of Data Sets

POWAY, CA – August 01, 2017 — Radeus Labs, Inc., a market leader in the design and manufacture of high performance antenna control systems, announced today the addition of IESS-412 or more commonly, Intelsat 11-parameter pointing capability to the 8200 antenna control system (ACS). 

The added pointing mode will allow greater flexibility for customers who use the Intelsat pointing mode and offers multiple methods for refreshing data sets, including an automatic update capability for web facing systems. 

Juliet Correnti, Chief Executive Officer and co-owner of Radeus Labs noted that, “Our customers continue to push us to grow our offering and add innovative twists to tried and true methods. This creates value for our customers and simplifies their work in ways that could not have been easily done 10 or 15 years ago.”

The 8200 currently auto updates the NORAD two-line element set data on a daily basis for targets using that pointing mode. Similarly, the Intelsat pointing mode will auto-refresh data sets when the 8200 ACU has web access. Alternatively, the data sets may be updated over the internal LAN when web access is not available. A third option for uploading data sets is to utilize the USB drive located on the the front panel of the ACU.

“We have tried to make it easy for customers to maintain current pointing data in their ACUs,” states Robert Gomez, a Satcom Engineer for Radeus. “By adding ease-of-use features to the 8200, we reduce the amount time required to maintain the unit and simplify the update process for our customers,” notes Gomez.

When Critical Components Are Discontinued: Rethinking System Requirements

You open an email on a Tuesday morning and learn that a product your system depends on is being discontinued. Maybe the vendor got acquired. Maybe the platform hit end of life. Maybe the company pivoted and your use case no longer fits their roadmap.

The instinct for a lot of organizations is to find the nearest replacement, drop it in, and get back to normal as fast as possible. That instinct is understandable. It is also how programs end up selecting a replacement based on what they used to have rather than what they actually need."

A forced transition is disruptive, but it is also one of the rare moments where a program has both the reason and the leverage to question assumptions that normally go unchallenged.

Six Free Browser-Based Tools Built for SATCOM Engineers and Teleporters

Every SATCOM engineer knows the feeling: the tool you need is almost there, split across different desktop applications or buried in an old spreadsheet, so you end up stitching things together yourself, every single time.

So, we built the suite we always wanted: six browser-based engineering utilities, shared free with the field, that run entirely in your browser and keep your TLE files, observer coordinates, and log data on your machine.

AIAA AVIATION 2026: Simulation, Testing, and Aerospace Compute Took Center Stage

radeus labs team at aiaa aviation 2026_1Radeus Labs returned from the AIAA AVIATION Forum in San Diego earlier this month with a sharper sense of where aviation is headed. With the event in our own backyard, team members from across engineering, production, finance, and leadership were all able to attend and between them, they covered a lot of ground.

What they found was a deeply technical event: serious aerospace conversations, real prototypes on the floor, strong academic representation, and clear momentum building around simulation, testing, autonomy, AI-enabled workflows, and high-performance compute.
