CAES announced today that its actuators and radiation hardened (RadHard) microelectronics are heading back to the planet of Mars as part of today’s NASA MARS2020 Perseverance Rover Launch. The MARS2020 Perseverance rover mission is part of the NASA Mars Exploration Program's long-term robotic exploration of the red planet. Designed to advance high-priority science goals for Mars exploration, the mission will address key questions about the potential for life and challenges of future human expeditions to Mars.

CAES, a leading provider of mission critical electronic solutions, has been awarded a contract valued at $50 million from Lockheed Martin to provide Antenna Array Panel Assemblies to the US Navy’s Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) Block 2, which will improve the AN/SLQ-32 passive electronic support capability.

CAES, a leading provider of advanced electronics for mission critical applications, announced today that an abundance of its radiation hardened (RadHard) and high reliability solutions are assisting in the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Solar Orbiter Mission. The mission is dedicated to understanding the Sun and Earth connection and the ESA Solar Orbiter recently took the closest-ever photos of the Sun in order to study how the star creates and controls the giant bubble of plasma that surrounds the whole Solar System and influences the planets within it.
