Space Launch

The backbone of any space program is the launch vehicle. Cables used for space launches need to withstand severe conditions at the lightest possible weight.

Typical challenges in determining the optimal coaxial cables and connectors for extreme conditions like space launches include evaluating factors such as signal-to-noise ratio, low loss, shielding, reliability, flexibility, superior amplitude stability, high density, low smoke, or non-outgassing materials, and more.

For cables and connectors used in space launches, extreme heat is also a crucial concern. Cables must be able to withstand extreme temperatures.

Typical Applications for Coaxial Cables

  • Attitude Correction Module 
  • Central Units / Communication 
  • Command Memory Boxes 
  • Control Boxes 
  • Sensors

Cable Assemblies for Space Launch

SpaceFlight

The SpaceFlight product line embodies the critical requirements necessary for reliable performance in space. Our proprietary material conditioning and vacuum testing of assemblies ensure outgassing is minimized to meet NASA standards ASTM E‐595.

PhaseTrack

PhaseTrack® cable assemblies are designed for applications demanding minimal phase change over temperature. All PhaseTrack cables use a proprietary TF4™ dielectric that does not have the abrupt shift in the phase that occurs with solid- or tape-wrapped PTFE-based products under normal room ambient temperature conditions.

All PhaseTrack cables use a proprietary TF4™ dielectric that does not have the abrupt shift in the phase that occurs with solid- or tape-wrapped PTFE-based products under normal room ambient temperature conditions.

MilTech

Our MILTECH® family of hermetically sealed flexible RF and microwave transmission line assemblies are optimized for commercial, military, and other demanding applications. MILTECH features a proprietary application of a spiral flat strip braid that results in a cable assembly with superior phase stability without sacrificing flexibility

MaxGain

MaxGain Assemblies are high-performance, ultra-low loss microwave coaxial cables. Built with our unique spiral outer conductor technology, this light-weight cable is a reliable, high frequency interconnect solution.
