Quantic™ Evans' capacitors are approved by European Space Agency for use in the ROSE-L satellite

Quantic™ Evans’ capacitors have been approved by ESA (European Space Agency) for the first time ever, after a three-year process of evaluation by a Tier 1 European Aerospace company. The ESA is Europe’s gateway to space. Its mission is to shape the development of Europe’s space capability and ensure that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the citizens of Europe and the world. As a result of the ESA certification, Quantic™ Evans capacitors can be used on the ROSE-L satellite being launched next year. Our capacitors are replacing solid tantalum capacitors that had been previously used. Our capacitors are saving significant space and weight on the spacecraft. ROSE-L will provide continuous day-and-night all-weather monitoring of Earth’s land, oceans and ice, and offer frequent images at a high spatial resolution.
