The €600,000 contract will see the Cork start-up designing and building modules for ESA satellites that can detect radiation.
Varadis, a Cork start-up building sensor technology, has secured a €600,000 contract with the European Space Agency (ESA).
The start-up’s radiation detection sensors will be used on ESA satellites in space. This technology has already been used by the International Space Station as well as clients in the private sector.
Varadis was born out of the Tyndall National Institute in Cork, where it developed its radiation detection sensors that can detect and measure absorbed doses of ionising radiation such as gamma rays, protons and x-rays. This Radiation Sensing Field Effect Transistors (Radfets) technology is based on 30 years of research at Tyndall.
