Spacedesign has outgrown our previous headquarters in Clear Lake near NASA Johnson Space Center and is now located in the center of downtown Houston in the Commerce Towers building. Our new mailing address is Spacedesign Corporation, P.O. Box 1045, Houston, TX 77251-1045. The main exchange phone and fax number have also changed. The new phone number is (713) 522-0230 and the new fax number is (713) 522-0257.

» 08/14/03 - Spacedesign Proposes Unconventional Space Power to DARPA
Spacedesign has proposed a unique device for solving a problem with future spacecraft. Traditional Spacecraft design has relied primarily on photovoltaic battery systems as a power source. Over the last five decades, these systems have consistently evolved to provide the increase in efficiency and specific energies required by changing spacecraft designs. The present state of the art system is, however, approaching the maximum theoretical efficiency achievable. The Unconventional Space Power proposal by Spacedesign proposes using an alternative power device in a form other than photovoltaic solar cells.

» 04/29/03 - Release of TSS V11.01 Revision D
Revision D of TSS V11.01 is now available. Major bug fixes are incorporated into this latest release which include an ellipsoid update. Only ellipsoids with a 360 deg gamma direction are affected, all other ellipsoids worked properly in previous versions. Other minor fixes to the RENO to TSS, IGES to TSS, and TRASYS to TSS translators are also included.

Several fixes to the polygon are also included. A check to assure that a polygon is convex (i.e. fan check) has been added.

Proportional heater has also been added to the Spacedesign Sinda/Fluint 3.3.

In remembrance of the seven Columbia Astronauts, Spacedesign Corporation will be closed this afternoon. God Bless.



» 08/31/02 - Release of TSS V11.01 A Better Earth
The latest version of TSS revolutionizes ray-tracing speed by advancing Oct-Cell technology. Often an after thought for most thermal engineers was optimizing the Oct-Cell method to enhance ray-tracing speed. In the newest version of TSS Oct-Cell optimization is automatic. In previous versions, memory and CPU time usage was exponential as the number of Oct-Cell levels increased. The revolutionary Advanced Oct-Cell method linearizes memory usage and CPU time while optimizing the Oct-Cells, truly a WIN-WIN for our industry.

» 06/07/02 - Spacedesign Consolidates Domain Names
Spacedesign consolidates its two domain names, space3d.com and spacedesign.com. The product page, space3d.com, is no longer a separate website and now points directly to the Spacedesign corporate website, www.spacedesign.com.

» 04/10/02 - Spacedesign Now Four Years Old
Today, Spacedesign Corporation is no longer 3 years old, the company turns 4 and looks to the future and sees continued profitability. Recently, Spacedesign applied for it's first patent outside the software industry. Expanding into another industry is quite a feat for only a 3 year old company.

Spacedesign announces the upcoming V11.01 of Space 3D with special visualization enhancements. These enhancements will allow better communication of engineering design intent to others. Examples include beautiful images of the Earth and other heavenly bodies. Other enhancements will allow future versions to directly interface with CAD systems and speed improvements in ray tracing.

» 01/21/02 - Roger that Redleader, Government TSS Support will Continue
NASA Johnson Space Center has exercised the 2nd option to the TSS Support and Maintenance Contract with Spacedesign. One notable change in this upcoming contract year is the removal of the monthly TSS Users Group meeting. This change is due to Shuttle Operations budgetary constraints.

» 01/01/02 - The Voice You Hear from Spacedesign has Changed
Spacedesign has had continuous engineering and software support for TSS since 1998. Previously, TSS support has been provided by Mr. Joseph Clay, founder and CEO. Mr. Joseph Lepore will be taking over responsibility for your TSS support needs. His knowledge of thermal analysis and engineering design of spacecraft is impeccable and second to none. Mr. Clay retains his responsibility as lead sales staff for the Space 3D product line.
