Space-Grade Reliability and Innovation for New Space Applications
We have introduced several solutions to address the challenges of New Space. Our MNS family of discrete products is manufactured using the same process flow as our JANS-qualified products to ensure you receive the same pedigree and excellence you have come to expect from our traditional space-grade products. However, the screening and testing processes truly set our MNS family apart. Offered with up to 30 krad (Si) radiation levels, these discrete products are just as reliable with less screening, an innovation that demonstrates our commitment to providing cost-effective and reliable solutions for the evolving needs of New Space applications.

New Space refers to a movement and industry trend characterized by the emergence of private companies and new business models in the space sector. New Space companies often leverage Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components and adopt more flexible and rapid development cycles compared to traditional space missions, which have historically been dominated by government agencies and large aerospace contractors. This democratization allows universities, startups and smaller nations to conduct valuable research and collect critical data. Unlike traditional, government-led space activities, the New Space era is driven by private enterprises and innovative startups focused on reducing costs, improving accessibility, developing cutting-edge technologies and accelerating the development and deployment of space technologies.
Our Commitment
We are here to provide you with robust and highly reliable discrete products tailored for the rapidly evolving Low Earth Orbit (LEO) exploration and technology industry. Modern technological advancements and the widespread use of small satellites, known as CubeSats, have made space more accessible than ever. With reliability, efficiency and durability at the forefront, our discrete components are vital for power management and distribution in satellites, spacecraft and other space-bound systems. The rising demand for smaller, more efficient and higher-performing space technologies has facilitated the creation of more compact and robust power solutions and as the space industry continues to expand, the development and integration of advanced power discretes will be essential in supporting the next generation of space missions and applications.
