NASA’s SOFIA Discovers Water on Sunlit Surface of Moon!

From NASA's website: "NASA’s SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) 747 Aircraft has confirmed, for the first time, water on the sunlit surface of the Moon. This discovery indicates that water may be distributed across the lunar surface, and not limited to cold, shadowed places. SOFIA has detected water molecules (H2O) in Clavius Crater, one of the largest craters visible from Earth, located in the Moon’s southern hemisphere. Previous observations of the Moon’s surface detected some form of hydrogen, but were...

Rugged Converters Manufactured By Our EIT Subsidiary Supporting US Army’s Iron Fist Testing!

The U.S. Army has begun testing the newest M2A4 version of its Bradley fighting vehicle that is now equipped with the Israeli "Iron Fist" system. "Iron Fist" protects the vehicle and its crew from anti-tank missiles. The field tests are being conducted at the Army’s base in Fort Hood, Texas. Each "Iron Fist" system contains 4 converters which produce the necessary voltages for the system's electronics from the Bradley's 28 VDC vehicle power. These converters are compliant to MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-461,...
