ECI’s heritage in space magnetics dates to the late 1980s, beginning with magnetic components used in the Cesium Atomic Clocks for the NAVSTAR GPS satellite system. Since then, we have delivered high-reliability magnetic components supporting a broad spectrum of spaceflight programs, including the International Space Station (ISS), the Space Shuttle, and numerous commercial, weather, communications, and military satellite platforms.
Today, ECI is proud to contribute to NASA’s Artemis–Orion program, supplying critical magnetic components essential to deep-space crewed missions. Our devices support life-sustaining and mission-enabling systems designed to operate in the harshest environments encountered beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
From fully qualified MIL-STD-981 devices assembled by J-STD-001 Space Addendum–certified operators to commercial space-grade solutions, ECI delivers magnetics engineered for reliability under extreme thermal, mechanical, and radiation conditions.
