During launches and missions, reducing the total mass of a spacecraft is essential to add more payload and fit more critical systems and subsystems. W. L. Gore & Associates meets the challenge with the smallest, lightest low earth orbit (LEO) wires and cables qualified to ESCC 3901/026 specifications and registered on the ESA Qualified Parts List (QPL).

Gore provides high-performance cable assemblies with significant mechanical and electrical advantages for high-flex applications in aerospace and defense, spaceflight, semiconductor, and test and measurement environments.

SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connectors make reliable, RF components and instrumentation possible. These seemingly mundane devices are the result of evolutionary and revolutionary design, covering a 40-year period and involving several corporations. In their present state, they represent highly evolved, well-defined interface systems.

The importance of a microwave cable assembly’s shielding effectiveness cannot be understated. Across defense, civil, and aerospace applications, it impacts the system performance of the aircraft and could impede upon data transmission capabilities.
