WHEN THE MISSION’S CRITICAL, SO ARE THE PARTS

A bold new era of connectivity is launching around the world. Vast constellations of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites now blanket our atmosphere, forever changing the future of voice and data communications worldwide. And it’s in this space that TE Connectivity (TE) tirelessly strives to be on the leading edge.

From space-qualified solutions to “up-ruggedized” commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components that are designed to meet many extreme environments, TE products accomplish the mission with unmatched reliability, ultimate performance and unparalleled cost-effectiveness.

 

CREATING A NETWORK OF MISSION CRITICAL RELIABILITY

LEO is less than 1,000 kilometers away, but it’s taken decades of innovation to get satellites there. TE Connectivity traces its legacy of mission-critical reliability back to Explorer 1 and continues to innovate by developing SpaceVPX, VITA and MIL-SPEC compliant products designed to withstand the toughest deadlines, challenges and environments imaginable. 
 

Space is unforgiving. That’s why TE Connectivity’s LEO satellite components are exactingly engineered, rigorously tested and certified by major space agencies to reliably meet novel bus and payload needs.

 

                                                                                                 

CONNECTIVITY INNOVATION THAT TAKES YOU FURTHER

In space launch applications, success is the only option. TE Connectivity’s industry pedigree has positioned us as a recognized global leader for providing field-proven products, well-suited for the rigors of space launch applications. Whether your launcher designs demand MIL-STD-1553B databus systems, DEUTSCH DBAS series push pull connectors or the toughest avionic interconnects — TE Connectivity’s solutions deliver deployment success.
