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.

If you determine that your system may be affected by PIM distortion, there are a few basic guidelines you can use to minimize PIM generation.

GORE® Spaceflight Cables are engineered to withstand the severe levels of radiation found in many satellite applications.

Unless otherwise specified, every GORE® Microwave/RF Coaxial Assembly is 100% tested, inspected, and certified to meet the acceptance requirements contained in all applicable specifications, whether stated in literature or in pre-approved customer contracts.

For both Spaceflight and Non-Spaceflight applications.

On any space mission, data integrity is paramount to maintaining communication across spacecraft systems, and the cables connecting these systems directly impact quality and speed. To help increase data integrity among spacecraft systems, W. L. Gore & Associates offers GORE® Space Cables and Assemblies, Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Interconnects for traditional space applications. They are proven to offer the best signal integrity thanks to their robust design and outstanding electrical performance. 

From harsh launches and landings to extreme temperatures and high radiation, microwave/RF assemblies on spacecraft must be able to endure demanding spaceflight conditions while maintaining their crucial ability to transmit reliable signals. Qualified to ESCC 3408/002 specifications and on the ESA Qualified Parts List (QPL), W. L. Gore & Associates’ GORE® Spaceflight Microwave/RF Assemblies, ESCC 3408-Qualified Type 8S deliver such dependability in traditional space applications.
