Faraday Factory Japan LLC, a top maker of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape, is partnering with Zenno Astronautics. Zenno is a company from New Zealand. They are known for making superconducting electromagnets. Their goal is to improve superconductor magnets for use in space.
Faraday Factory has more than 30 years of experience in high-temperature superconductors. They provide advanced HTS tapes. This includes the new Mirai superconducting tape. Zenno will use these materials in its next-gen magnet coils, like the Z01 Supertorquer.
The goal of the collaboration is to boost operating margins and cut weight. It will reduce energy use and decrease maintenance downtime for superconducting magnets. These magnets are essential for the tough conditions of space. The partnership plans to customize HTS wires for specific temperature and magnetic field needs. This will enhance superconducting technology for space operations.
