Many know that Interface is obsessed with space and space exploration. This is in our company DNA. Going back to our founder, we see his passion and legacy through the aptly named Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona.

Like NASA with the first photos of the James Webb Space Telescope has shown, we have only just begun to explore the depths of space. This is one reason we celebrate with our colleagues in science, engineers, researchers and innovators who have developed, tested and implemented the technologies used by JWST and space exploration in general.

Our Interface team is extremely honored to play a role in opening up the world of space exploration. In fact, our scientists, engineers and technicians have Aerospace company with force measurement solutions used to test spacecraft, rockets, launch equipment, satellites and mirror equipment to give us all a glimpse of distant galaxies.

We are familiar with the Webb telescope because Interface has been working with our low-profile load cells for many years Model 1800 Platinum Standard Calibration and the 9840 Multi-Channel Load Cell Indicators helped achieve incredibly high system performance. These products allowed the JW team to carefully monitor structural loads during initial assembly and fit verification. The satellite was designed with such specific loading targets that normal gravity would cause the structure to fail during deployment. Our systems were used to monitor counteracting force build-ups so that the system could be maintained in an effective state of weightlessness, as would exist in space.
