Teledyne Space Hardware Flies on Ariane 6 for Meteosat Third-Gen
On August 27, Teledyne Technologies watched its hardware fly on an Ariane 6 rocket in French Guiana for the MTG-I2 Meteosat Third Generation Imager satellite. It is the second of four planned launches, carrying a CIS111 radiation-hardened, rhombus-pixel sensor designed for sharper geostationary observation. Teledyne Space Imaging builds sensors used on 250+ missions, while second-quarter net sales rose to $1.66 billion and non-GAAP EPS increased 20.8%.
