Trillium Inc, a leading automotive

the assets of cybersecurity consulting

“Now, in addition to providing customers with tools and systems
to ward off cyber-attacks, we can also help identify weaknesses
early to reduce network vulnerabilities prior to commercial system
deployment.”
The combination of CanBusHack’s sophisticated “Red Team”
and Trillium’s advanced “Blue Team”
expertise is expected to deliver a
100% IP accretive environment

Aalto-1 satellite sends first image the camera developed by VTT
Launched on the morning of 23 June
from India, the Aalto-1 satellite’s first
month in space has gone according to
plan.
‘We have run checks on the majority
of the satellite’s systems and found
that the devices are fully functional,’
Aalto University’s Professor Jaan Praks,
who is heading the satellite project,
explains.
‘We have also downloaded the first image sent by Aalto-1, which
is also the first ever image taken from a Finnish satellite. It was
taken while on orbit over Norway at
an altitude of about 500 kilometres.
The image shows the Danish coast
as well as a portion of the Norwegian
coastline.
The photograph was taken by the
secondary camera for the VTT-
developed hyperspectral camera. The
secondary camera faces the same
direction as the main hyperspectral
camera, but it has a slightly broader view angle to support,
the analysis of the hyperspectral camera’s images.
