SATELLITE OEM
B R A I D E D T E T H E R
• Needs a small diameter strength member with specific tensile and
geometric requirements that current product was not achieving
• Requires a solution that is also black and UV resistant, as existing
aramid yarns are not available in color (coating is not acceptable
for the application due to off-gassing complications)
• Withstands extreme, prolonged thermal cycling
• Acts as a critical component for safe re-entry into earth’s
atmosphere at the end of the satellite’s life cycle
