Euclid : La mission de l'ESA embarque nos composants magnétiques et condensateurs.

Nos composants magnétiques et nos condensateurs sont à bord de la dernière mission de l'ESA : Euclid.

Cette réalisation remarquable vient s'ajouter à notre participation réussie à la mission JUICE de l'ESA et à la présence de nos composants à bord du rover Perseverance de la NASA.

Euclid est une mission spatiale ambitieuse de l'Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA) qui vise à cartographier l'Univers observable et à enquêter sur la mystérieuse énergie sombre et la matière noire. Le satellite étudiera des galaxies qui se trouvent à différentes distances de la Terre au moyen d’un télescope de 1,2m de diamètre qui embarque deux instruments : l’imageur observant en lumière visible (VIS) et le spectro-imageur proche infrarouge (NISP).

Nous sommes fiers d'avoir été sélectionné comme fournisseur de composants passifs de haute fiabilité pour cette mission cruciale. Nos composants magnétiques (CMC 15, SESI inductance 9.1, 15 & 22) et nos condensateurs (PM 948S, PM 94S, DBIT X3S) ont été soigneusement conçus et fabriqués pour répondre aux exigences extrêmes de l'espace (ESA QPL) et jouer un rôle clé dans le succès de la mission Euclid (Nous équipons le PCDU = Unité de distribution de conditionnement de puissance). 

Euclid - Exxelia

Notre expertise et notre expérience dans la conception et la fabrication de composants électroniques passifs sur mesure pour le domaine spatial, nous permettent de répondre aux exigences les plus strictes de l'industrie aérospatiale. Nous sommes déterminés à maintenir notre position en tant que fournisseur de confiance pour les missions spatiales de renom.

Exxelia Ohmcraft Custom Resistors Help Ensure Reliability of Most-Deployed Anti-Tank Missile in the World

In times of warfare, the reliability of military weapons is absolutely critical to the success of a mission. For nearly a decade, military contractors have leveraged Exxelia Ohmcraft’s custom, high voltage resistors and dividers to ensure product performance in a variety of military applications, including the FGM-148 Javelin—the most-deployed anti-tank missile in the world. In a variety of military applications, including the FGM-148 Javelin—the most-deployed anti-tank missile in the world.“Missiles are exposed to extreme climate conditions and often sit idle—sometimes for several years—before they are launched. When that time comes, it is essential for those missiles to perform as expected,” said Eric Van Wormer, Vice President of Exxelia Ohmcraft. “Exxelia Ohmcraft custom resistors are designed to support the rigorous precision and reliability specifications required by military suppliers to withstand the harsh environmental conditions, ensuring that the missile remains fully operational under all circumstances. Exxelia Ohmcraft performs a full range of military lot acceptance testing (LAT) on resistors as necessary, and works closely with military contractors to meet the design requirements for each particular application. In the case of the FGM-148 Javelin, a small, lightweight form factor was imperative to keep the missiles as lightweight and portable as possible. Exxelia Ohmcraft’s technology utilizes the proprietary Micropen electronic printing system to “print” precise, narrow, serpentine lines with resistive ink on a ceramic substrate, producing higher performance resistors over a wider range of values on a smaller surface area than is possible with conventional film resistor technology.
