Copperweld conductors are out of this world, literally! You may know that Copperweld wire and cable have been used in the harshest conditions on earth for over 100 years. But you might not be aware that Copperweld is used in some of the most unforgiving environments in the solar system, too. For over a century Copperweld products have been trusted in applications where strength and reliability are essential. In WWII, Copperweld signal wire was deployed for warzone communication transmissions in the Pacific theater. Copperweld’s stranded cables have even been installed for purely structural applications, as well, like fortifying levees along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. Despite Copperweld’s impressive resume of applications on the ‘home planet’, many people are not aware that Copperweld wires have been utilized in several space missions. Did you know that Copperweld conductors were used on the Mars Rover and the Hubble Space Telescope? Extreme temperature variations, vibrations, shock, radiation, outgassing, and micro-meteoroids — space deployments present a set of challenges you won’t encounter anywhere on earth. Engineers designing for these complications require materials that can withstand severe conditions for prolonged periods without needing repair. Copperweld is honored that our conductors were selected for these mission-critical projects. #Copperweld #BimetallicWire #WiredToProtect

Tasked with the design and manufacture of a new like for like switchboard to replace an existing one built before man even stepped out on the moon can be quite a challenge, especially when asked to dodge a few curved balls along the way (just like NASA)…. Built to the latest industry standards - goes without saying. Segregation Form 4 type 7 where before there was none - tick. Match the existing footprint so original cables don’t need replacing - tick. Must be installed over existing trench without moving the cables - tick. Reduced height in order to fit through the switch room door - tick. Within the client’s CapEx budget or you don’t even win the job - obviously. Result, here’s just one of the new incomer cubicles fitted with a Schneider 1600A 4P drawout Air Circuit Breaker (ACB), which will form part of the new 10 Metre long switchboard. #switchboard #form4 #busbars #lowvoltage #IEC61439 #engineeringdesign

Miniature alcohol-blend thrusters depend on ultra-fast solenoid valves to improve specific impulse and system durability, extending useful life on long missions. The Lee Company has enhanced its range of IEP Series Extended Performance solenoid valves. Models with flight heritage can be configured with special ports for each application, and feature durable laser-welded construction. The IEP Series also performs in a wide temperature range, up to 275°F, and an extended pressure range with differential pressure up to 800 psi. Dependability is second to none. IEP Series solenoid valves have a typical life expectancy of millions of cycles, and quality is ensured through 100% testing and inspection from beginning to end of production. https://thelee.co/4eELfx3

I recently encountered this scenario — imagine these two doors swinging open at the same time. Disaster! This scenario perfectly reflects the integration challenges faced by satellite builders. Just like those doors, poorly designed interfaces between subsystems can lead to major headaches at integration. Here at SPHERICAL, we've heard far too many horror stories from customers facing these challenges. That's why we develop our innovative software-defined Power Conditioning and Distribution Unit (PCDU). Our technology, powered by our in-house developed microchip, allows us to quickly reconfigure standard PCDU hardware to meet your specific mission needs. Need an updated voltage level or a new current limit? No problem! We can support these changes quickly and cost-effectively, often even for hardware already delivered. This gives satellite integrators the flexibility they need to proceed with AIVT campaigns with confidence, knowing the PCDU won't be a roadblock. Focus on your mission, not power headaches. Let's chat about how our software-defined PCDU can help! #satellites #spacecraft #aivt #engineering #innovation
