Relative pressure transducer 2403SAT

analogfor the aeronautical industry

Taber's involvement with the space industry began with supplying pressure transducers to NASA for the Apollo Space Program. This support has continued through programs such as the Space Shuttle, International Space Station, unmanned ATV/HTV craft, satellite (communication, military, imaging, and scientific), and long duration deep space missions. This experience has provided an extensive heritage for Taber's Space Program pressure transducers. Taber's legacy Model 2403SAT pressure transducer (currently obsolete), was originally designed for the unique long life demands required for satellite propulsion and coolant systems and was extremely stable with low drift (0.1% over 10 years), light weight (<7 ounces) and offered 0.25% Static Accuracy. A 1/4 inch tube stub and enhanced RFI/EMI protection were standard features. The heritage for the Taber 2403SAT includes the Hubble and GLAST (now Fermi) space telescopes, DAWN, two MER Cruise Stages, and Orbital Science Star-2 Platforms. Taber is especially proud that this pressure transducer was chosen for the NASA-JPL "Deep Space One" mission, the first of NASA's New Millennium Spacecraft. Now a decade into the 21st Century, Taber's Transducer Program Series (designated by a "P") Models P2911, P3911 (currently obsolete), P4911, P5411 and P5911 have replaced the Model 2403SAT in all space applications. This new generation of pressure transducers offers greater flexibility and is even more qualified to meet rigorous mission requirements.
