Moog Inc.

Recognized under Tier 5 — Energy Production & Storage, Moog Inc. builds the power distribution, actuation, and mechanism hardware that spacecraft depend on to convert stored energy into usable systems. Its spacecraft power product line includes flight-heritage boards such as the SACI, which manages the interface between solar arrays and batteries with charge control and telemetry feedback, and the MEPS system, which hybridizes batteries with ultracapacitors to handle transient power loads. Moog actuators and mechanisms have flown on missions to every planetary target NASA has visited, from lunar landers to outer-planet probes, controlling functions from solar array deployment to antenna pointing. Because a habitat or rover is only as reliable as the electronics that route and regulate its power, Moog's flight-proven power management and deployment hardware is an essential piece of keeping Moon and Mars power systems functioning through the mechanical stresses of landing, deployment, and years of surface operation.
