Galactic Cable Mastery: Conquer Any Galaxy with Ty-Rap’s Cable Ties

ABB Ty-Rap™ Cable Ties Powering the Mars Perseverance Rover

As NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover begins exploring its new planetary home after landing on February 18, 2021, it’s operating with the world’s most advanced technology while being equipped with Ty-Rap cable ties from ABB, the same ties that are widely used on Earth. ABB Installation Products has provided products to the space program since 1973, and Ty-Rap cable ties are in continued use on the still active NASA Curiosity rover and were previously used on the twin Spirit and Opportunity rovers.

Aquamarine ties used on rover – Made of Tefzel ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene) resins, high-performance Ty-Rap cable ties are melt-processable copolymers tested for physical durability and resistance to chemicals, UV, extreme temperatures and 2,000 times more radiation than nylon used in standard cable ties.

May the 4th be with it as it ventures forth, equipped with the same Ty-Rap® cable ties that have traversed galaxies and secured the inner workings of spacecraft. Just as the Force binds the galaxy together, these ties secure the rover’s vital components, ensuring its mission perseveres through the cosmos.
