NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT: Kyocera's Fine-Cordierite is the first-ever ceramic mirror chosen for optical space communications in the International Space Station!
Space, it's the next big thing. And it's being accelerated by Fine Ceramic technology.
Kyocera's Fine-Cordierite ceramic mirror was chosen as the first-ever ceramic mirror used in optical communication between the ISS and Earth because of its mechanical properties of low thermal expansion, high strength and rigidity, long-term dimensional stability, and radiation resistance.
You see, nanoscale precision is needed for optical communications in space. And with those material properties, ceramic is better suited for the rigors of space compared to traditional materials like metal or glass. In short, the unique mechanical properties of Fine-Cordierite ceramic make optical communication in space is more reliable.
That's where ceramic technology comes in, bringing reliability and advancement from the material selection.
