Mission to Mars
May 1st 2009 Denbighshire-based high-tech
company Laser Micromachining
Limited (LML) is set to play a crucial
role in a European Space Agency
(ESA) mission to Mars after
developing a vital component in the
next generation of space technology.
From its laboratories at St Asaph's
Technium OpTIC, LML is using its
laser micromachining expertise to
produce a critical element which will
help to measure the wind speed and
direction on the dusty red planet.
The anemometer, as the
instrument is better known, is set to
be housed on the robotic Rover
vehicle on the ExoMars mission set to
launch in 2016. |
