, Part 47, on the landing of the space capsule with rock samples from the asteroid "Bennu" on September 24: Hardness test passed – Optopolymer® from Berghof is "space-proof material."
Difficult technical missions and extreme requirements are part of everyday life at our subsidiary Berghof Fluoroplastics. But what ends successfully on September 24 is something that even our experts in high-tech plastics, who know all the tricks of the trade, are proud of.
The NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration mission “OSIRIS-REx” was the first space mission on which Optopolymer® from Berghof had to prove itself – and it did so successfully over the entire period, earning the title of "space-proof material".
September 24, 2023 will go down in the history books. On this day, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's "OSIRIS-REx" satellite sends a capsule back to Earth with a unique cargo – seven years after its launch into space.
