The Danish built satellite "?rsted" was finally launched after 10 attempts. The satellite got a free ride on board a Delta II rocket launched from the Vandenberg air base in California. The software on board was built by CRI Denmark using the DACS-80x86. The satellite will measure the Earth's magnetic field from a height of 600-850 km. The satellite was built on a very low budget which called for inventing new, cheaper solutions to old problems. This new technology has caught NASA's attention. ---------------- Our CEO sent us the following email about one of our products. I thought it was interesting because it involves our Ada83 product and it is obviously not a military application.
