Stouffville, ON -- February 18, 2020 -- Wolf Advanced Technology (WOLF) is doing its part to support the NewSpace market segment which is made up of over eighty companies that aim to lower the cost of space applications and travel.
"It's gratifying to know that so many of the live videos we see from space are made possible, in part, because of our products," said Greg Maynard, President and CTO of WOLF, "and that we're contributing to lowering the cost of launches and space travel overall."
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch are forecasting the NewSpace market segment to grow to anywhere between $1 trillion to $2.7 trillion per year by the 2040's.
"With the exception of NASA, we don't talk about any of our customers' space applications," added Maynard, "but what we can say is that we have shipped over 750 products to multiple companies in the NewSpace segment and that WOLF products are playing an important supporting role in helping to reduce the cost of space applications."
WOLF has a complete line of video-centric, High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC), and autonomy modules that incorporate NVIDIA, AMD, and Xilinx technologies and are available in custom, industry, and military form factors. WOLF's products have a proven track record for the performance and durability required for deployment in the air and in space.
