Kyocera’s Fine Ceramic materials, components, semiconductor packages and electronic devices have contributed to space exploration for over fifty years. Kyocera has a strong history of supplying advanced ceramic components for space and astronomy applications — including auxiliary power units, astronomical instruments, satellites, space probes, telescope components, space vehicles and more.

Over the years we have developed a strong partnership with JAXA to include our components being used in the Hayabusa mission, which involved a robot spacecraft taking a sample from a nearby asteroid. Recently, we have identified Fine Cordierite as a high-performance advanced ceramic for various applications to include structural components and satellite mirrors. Kyocera is committed to continuously creating new value at the cutting edge of technology.
