Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) has outfitted NASA’s
Perseverance rover with a stellar array of advanced technologies
from Materion’s unique product portfolio, marking the Company’s
third rover mission to Mars.
Materion has provided optical filters for every NASA rover
mission to the red planet, and the Company’s bandpass filters are a
key component of the rover’s Mastcam-Z camera system. Its
high-performance optical filters are also part of the weather
station located on the boom of the rover. The Mars Environmental
Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument will characterize the dust
sizes and shapes and provide daily weather reporting and
information on the radiation and wind patterns on Mars.
Materion’s AlBeMet® composites and Combo-Lid™ products are also
on board for the Perseverance mission. The AlBeMet composite offers
property sets that meet the demands of advanced technologies and
applications in space structures. Its properties allow designers to
reduce system size and the weight of components while minimizing
stress from vibration. The Combo-Lid hermetically seals delicate
circuits and intricate components, chosen for their long-life
expectancy and extremely low failure rate required to meet crucial
specifications in space exploration.
“We take tremendous pride in every mission we support and are
honored to be a part of NASA’s latest space exploration journey
with our advanced technology enabling solutions,” said Jugal
Vijayvargiya, President and Chief Executive Officer
Materion has supported space exploration projects and aerospace
missions since the early 1960s, including the design and
development of advanced materials and components for The Hubble
Space Telescope, Landsat, and more recent technology innovations
like The James Webb Telescope, which is scheduled to launch in
2021.
