Engineering the next frontier

Choose the right device to meet your mission's quality requirements

To meet the needs of new space and deep space customers, we offer two different space-qualified packaging options:

  • Plastic, offering smaller size, lower weight and higher performance, available in two radiation levels: radiation-hardened Qualified Manufacturers List (QML) Classes P and Y products optimized for medium Earth orbit (MEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO) missions with high-quality and high radiation-tolerant requirements, and radiation-tolerant Space Enhanced Products (SEP) targeted for low Earth orbit (LEO) missions with lower radiation and cost requirements.
  • Ceramic, which is hermetically sealed following QML Class V with various radiation levels.
