Space missions demand more from every hardware component: long-term reliability, reduced size and weight, and seamless integration in some of the harshest environments imaginable. From radiation exposure and mechanical stress to extreme temperature swings, interconnect systems must deliver consistent functionality over long durations. At the same time growing demand for data-intensive applications like Earth observation and global communications are pushing engineers to rethink how space systems are built and connected.
Solutions to these evolving technical challenges must be engineered for durability, density and data integrity. High-reliability designs are essential to prevent mission failure and protect valuable equipment. Space connectors must also deliver more functionality in a reduced footprint, supporting compact system designs while enabling high-speed communication, real-time processing and efficient data handling throughout the mission lifecycle.
AirBorn and Molex deliver end-to-end space connectivity solutions designed to meet these demands. Our portfolio includes high-density, lightweight and radiation-tolerant interconnects that meet NASA and MIL-SPEC requirements, with a strong track record of mission-proven performance. Our innovative products for space use advanced materials, robust electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection and enhanced signal integrity to support secure, high-speed transmission across long distances.
