Job Description

Space is a harsh environment, with extreme variations in temperature and high levels of radiation of various types. When the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) needed protection for its spacecraft and components, HII, Mission Technologies stepped up and created mission-critical thermal coatings as well as the complex processes needed to apply them.  We supplied coatings for the Gemini, Apollo, and Saturn programs — among many others — as well as for use on global positioning satellites  Today, HII continues to support NASA as the space agency moves forward with new programs and challenges. And our thermal coatings are used on private and public sector space vessels, alike.
