Clyde Space presented at the Electronic Materials and Assembly Processes for Space (EMAPS) Workshop at the University of Portsmouth on Wednesday 17th February 2010. The aim of the Workshop was to provide professionals in the fields of Space and High-Reliability Electronics and solutions for constructing spacecraft systems that take into account of the materials, processes, best practice and the space environment. There was a focus on the issues of tin-whiskering and approaches to mitigate this problem as Rohs brings it further into our domain. Craig Clark orfClyde Space gave an overview of activities and technologies for CubeSats and their potential to enable a number of space applications. This event was hosted by the department of Electronic & Computer Engineering (http://www.port.ac.uk/ece) and supported by the UK ESA School for flight assembly (ASTA).
