The global space electronics market is projected to reach $5.4 billion by 2031 with an average of 1,700 satellite launches per year expected by 2030.
Every single part of the satellite must be able to withstand the conditions in space and stable cable assemblies like the MINI250H will be needed to ensure factors, such as temperature changes in the atmosphere, do not affect the efficiency of the connectivity needed to transmit information.
The MINI250H – which has the largest diameter in the HUBER+SUHNER MINIBEND family – transmits antenna signals for applications in space, aerospace and satellite. Its release means HUBER+SUHNER can now outfit an entire satellite with its range of interconnectivity cabling.
Leveraging the original “bend-to-the-end” heritage of its MINIBEND predecessors, the cable is extremely flexible and can run on the outside of satellite arms and solar panel arrays, allowing tight bends without comprising connectivity strength.
It features a five-shield construction that was developed to withstand the harsh environments of LEO and near-Space applications, yielding lower radio frequency leakage. In addition, three stainless steel screens ensure the mechanical robustness of the cable and cable-connector junction.
Strict ESA, NASA, and MIL standards are also supported.
