Polymicro Technologies™ optical fiber used to build NASA’s Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2)

High OH glass/glass fiber, including a glass core, glass cladding layer, acrylate buffer and a protective Nylon outer jacket are at the center of stakes. 

Polymicro Technologies™ optical fiber embarks on NASA’s Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) brings enhanced efficiency when it comes to measure changes in Earth features, from melting ice sheets to thinning sea ice to growing trees. 

In effect, the specialty optical fiber from Molex will be used onboard ICESat-2 and in Ground Support Equipment (GSE) assemblies that enable integration and testing.
