This order marks the start of nanoRTUâ„¢ production and launch of product support. Delivery will commence in September 2010. The nanoRTUâ„¢ 200 series have been developed in close cooperation with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) at Utah State University (USU) and provides a fast, reliable, and simple interface for distributed architectures. All nanoRTU's are SPAready and support plug-and-play if implemented. The nanoRTUâ„¢ 200 series  is ITAR-free.
