TWI arrives on Mars

May 29, 2008

On Sunday evening, May 25th, at 7:38:44-PM/EDT the Phoenix spacecraft successfully landed on Mars and 15 minutes later at 7:53.44-PM/EDT the first radio signals confirming the landing were received at JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in California. Two carbon-fiber, composite cylinders produced by Structural Composites Industries were on the Phoenix spacecraft. The Phoenix is scheduled to search for evidence of life (past and present) in the Martian soil for the next 90-days and then will be covered with a layer of frost as the Martian winter season sets in.
The Phoenix mission was launched on August 4th 2007 and SCI’s durable model 5129A cylinders traversed the 422 million mile journey through space without incident.

NASA Administrator Michael Griffin, noted this was the first successful Mars landing without airbags since Viking 2 in 1976. "For the first time in 32 years, and only the third time in history, a JPL team has carried out a soft landing on Mars," Griffin said.

Congratulations to all SCI personnel for a job well done. All TWI employees throughout the world salute your accomplishment and share in the pride that evidence of the quality, craftsmanship and ingenuity of our Corporation will be forever represented on another planet in our solar system.
