On July 16, 1969, NASA launched the first manned mission to land on the moon. The Apollo 11 launch paved the way for explorations in space over the next 40 years.

All missions into outer space use high-quality, high-reliability electronics that must withstand extreme environmental elements. The electronics need to tolerate harsh conditions, including radiation levels and excessive temperatures. As a result, it is extremely important that the right electronic components are selected to ensure a successful mission.

Arrow Electronics has assisted in many outer space missions, collaborating on computers and subsystems for the space shuttle, the international space station and other space programs. Arrow’s team of design experts and logistic specialists support customers to ensure that the right parts are chosen. Arrow’s supply-chain management services assure both quality and timeliness of the parts, and the company’s Custom Logic Solutions creates dependable, intelligent solutions that are tailored to customers’ needs to save time and resources.
