CIMON is an experiment overseen by Space Administration at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in cooperation with Airbus as the prime contractor as well as IBM, Reichert Design and LMU Munich. \n\nThe Airbus' CIMON project will also be presented at the IBM THINK convention in Las Vegas on March 19th – 21st 2018.\n\nCIMON (Crew Interactive Mobile CompanioN) is a mobile and autonomous assistance system designed to aid ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst with his everyday tasks on the International Space Station (ISS). Gerst, a 41 year-old German geophysicist, is scheduled to embark on his second research trip to the ISS as part of expedition 56/57 in late April 2018.\n\n\"Airbus required a high performance microphone to operate in this unique user environment. They tested other digital array microphones, but nothing solved the complex audio issues like the Andrea DA-250 DSP array microphone with its industrial NR performance and seamless integration for solving the front end far field voice input for CIMON,\" said Douglas Andrea, CEO of Andrea Electronics Corporation.   \n\nTill Eisenber...
