HTTP:: Star Trek Inspired Textile Antenna Created
--------
Finland-based Patria Aviation Oy is currently one of the few companies in the world seeking to create personal satellite-communication antennas out of textile materials. Its instrument is roughly similar to the one members of Enterprise used in the Star Trek series. A simple touch of a badge was enough to open a communication channel with anyone. Similar performances could become a reality much faster than we think, if the research conducted at Patria becomes a reality, and wearable, textile materials will, indeed, be able to communicate with satellites, SpaceFellowship reports. “Flexible antennas are becoming attractive, since the recent developments in ‘wearable computing’ have opened several possibilities to integrate wireless functions into clothing,†Rolv Midthassel explains. He represents the interests of the European Space Agency (ESA) in this project. ESA is involved with supporting this line of research, as any results could be applied successfully on the!
International Space Station, for example, or during future, long flights to other planets or the Moon. Patria is involved in all stages of creating the new clothes, from selecting and establishing the traits of materials that will make it up to creating and verifying the final design. The demonstrator antenna that was obt...
