Burle Lands on Titan
When the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft successfully passed through the rings of Saturn and settled into orbit around the planet after a seven year billion mile journey, Burle was there. On January 14th, 2005, the Huygens probe, built by the European Space Agency (ESA), was deployed from the Cassini orbiter. It descended through the cloudy atmosphere and touched down on the surface of Titan, Saturn's largest moon.

Temperature Monitoring Project
Eno River Labs, a company specializing in analytical chemistry and mass spectrometry, was faced with the task of keeping their Drug Discovery customer's samples in a monitored cold environment. Reed Hokanson, Facilities Engineer with Eno River Labs, discussed their issue with multiple "turn key" engineering companies. Quotes to install a system to meet their unique needs were averaging $30,000 to $40,000 dollars. Since Eno River Labs is a very small company, a less expensive option had to be explored.
