Our Solutions Are Changing This World, and Others

When NASA sent the Perseverance Rover to Mars, CPS was not just along for the ride. Our material experts provided the AlSiC hermetic housing around the turret power supply for the SHERLOC scientific instrument onboard the Perseverance Rover.

Thermal expansion, conductivity, and the stiffness-to-weight ratio of the CPS AlSiC metal-matrix composite provide a higher level of reliability and performance that NASA trusts.

The proprietary AlSiC composite can also be found on the International Space Station and in the most recent generation of GPS satellites for the U.S. Space Force.
