The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched in October 1997 to study the famous rings and moons around Saturn. The spacecraft finally reached Saturn and began orbiting the planet nearly seven years later and, today, after 13 years in orbit and 20 years in space, Cassini plunged into Saturn’s atmosphere marking the end of one of the …
Silicone insulated wire and cables are a popular choice for a variety of industries due to it’s operating temperature range, extreme flexibility, voltage properties. Silicone wire and cable compounds are available in special grades and formulas are available for specific requirements such as, medical grade/implantable, low smoke/halogen-free, increased resistance to abrasion , flame retardant and …
