BoRG
A mission-critical inertial sensing solution engineered for the demanding flight-control requirements of commercial space launch vehicles — delivering precise pitch and yaw rate data from pre-launch through booster engine cutoff and stage separation.
One triple-redundant unit
The BoRG pairs precision rate sensing with a fully redundant triple-channel architecture — isolated sensing, power, and communication paths keep the unit operating through harsh aerospace launch environments. High-speed Ethernet and a redundant aerospace-grade bus deliver robust real-time data to the flight computer, while onboard processing handles all sampling, filtering, and buffering for low-latency performance.
Precision built for launch
Engineered for maximum reliability, the BoRG delivers accurate, low-latency performance for mission-critical launch applications where precision, redundancy, and reliability are essential.
