🌕 Before the first footsteps on the Moon, countless engineering challenges had to be solved, with materials being at the heart of them.
During the Apollo program, reliability wasn’t optional. Every component had to perform flawlessly under extreme conditions.
Our ultra-thin Permalloy® foil played a key role in the Apollo Guidance Computer, forming the magnetic core memory that stored mission-critical software, helped guide astronauts to the Moon and safely back to Earth.
From those early missions to today’s space technologies, that legacy continues.
