Nova’s NERM Rugged Modular UPS Systems for FAA Air Traffic Control Back-Up System Upgrades

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has started investing the first $1 billion of $5 billion available via the recently passed Infrastructure bill into the country’s air traffic control system. The funding will sustain, repair, or replace hundreds of buildings and pieces of equipment that make flying in the United States the safest in the world. Chief among the upgrades will be Power Systems, specifically back-up power systems for our air traffic systems. Nova Electric’s Rugged NERM-Series True...

THAAD, in first operational use, destroys midrange ballistic missile in Houthi attack

January 21, 2022 from defensenews.com "A multibillion-dollar missile defense system owned by the United Arab Emirates and developed by the U.S. military intercepted a ballistic missile on Monday during a deadly attack by Houthi militants in Abu Dhabi, marking the system’s first known use in a military operation." The THAAD system uses Nova's Jupiter-Series UPS system in the radar, and uses our Galaxy-Series UPS in the fire control that was used to actually fire the missile that shot down the enemy's midrange...

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...

NASA’s SOFIA Makes New Discoveries About Pluto’s Haze

NASA's SOFIA (Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy) 747 Aircraft has made exciting new discoveries about the haze surrounding Pluto. From Shane McGlaun's article in Slashgear.com May 13, 2020: "Those observations show the thin haze surrounding Pluto is made of very small particles that remain in the atmosphere for prolonged periods rather than immediately falling to the surface. The data shows that the haze particles are actively replenished, which revises predictions of the fate of Pluto’s atmosphere as it moves into colder areas of...

Nova’s True Online UPS Systems Can Keep Critical Medical Equipment Running When Utility Power Fails

Problem: Right now, mobile hospitals and field hospitals are being set up in the COVID-19 hotpots throughout the world. These hospitals contain critical medical equipment, specifically ventilators, respirators, BiPAPs, CPAPs, used to treat the infected patients. These devices need to keep running, even if utility power fails, in order for patients to stay alive. Solution: Nova’s Uninterruptible Power Supplies solve this problem by utilizing field proven True Online technology to provide battery backup to any critical medical device, from a few hundred watts...

Nova Frequency Converters Can Help Solve The Chronic Shortages Of Critical Medical Equipment Required For COVID-19 Coronavirus

Problem: Right now, almost every country is currently experiencing drastic shortages of ventilators, respirators, BiPAPs, CPAPs, and more. Different power requirements between the world’s countries further exacerbate this dire scenario, because some of these machines can only operate on 120 VAC / 60 Hz power, or only on 220 VAC / 50 Hz power, which limits the ability of different countries to share resources according to need. Solution: Nova’s Solid-State Frequency Converters solve this problem by converting any standard voltage and...
