2025: A Space Odyssey
All four trade shows on Samtec’s August calendar relate to space applications. They also spill over into mil-aero. But if I put that in the headline, it would be an extremely long headline.
Many Samtec products are designed for space applications. For example, Samtec’s SET products are approved for NASA Class D missions that require high-reliability, quick-turn, and cost-effective solutions for LEO satellites, SmallSats, CubeSats, and other space exploration equipment, such as space suits.
Samtec offers a range of precision RF connectors designed to provide solutions for frequencies between 18 GHz and 110 GHz, making them ideal for satellite communications (Satcom) applications. Samtec also has market-leading expertise in high-speed board-to-board, cable, and rad-hard rugged optics for space applications.
Ask us about Samtec’s lot sample screening per EIA-364 (meets or exceeds MIL-DTL-55302).
By the way, here’s a blog about Samtec’s space legacy, and here’s one about the UK space industry.
