Helping Ensure Astronaut Safety

July 18, 2019 – In the week that the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 taking man to the moon, Smiths Interconnect have their own space-related achievement to celebrate.

Smiths Interconnect’s high-speed D-sub connectors and harnesses were part of NASA’s successful Orion test flight to conduct a full-stress test of the Launch Abort System (LAS). The test proved that Orion could pull astronauts to safety in the event of an emergency during launch.
​
The Orion LAS, with a mock-up Orion capsule, launched on a modified Peacekeeper missile from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida to an altitude of about 6 miles. Travelling at nearly 1,000 miles per hour, the LAS pulled the crew module away from its booster and oriented it for splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. Learn more here and watch a short video of the test flight.
