3D PLUS has more than 210,000 microelectronics components in space, and more than 25 years of flight heritage with no reported failure. Our Flight Heritage is expanding continuously with products launched in Space every month in LEO, MEO and GEO orbits, for deep space exploration missions, for satellite constellation fleets, and for governmental missions in Europe, America, and Asia. Our Flagship missions include Mars 2020, Mars Science Laboratory, Rosetta, New Horizons, Juno, OneWeb, AlphaSat, Sentinel, Ariane 5, ISS, Parker Solar Probe, Insight, and many more.
On March 14, 2025, NASA launched the Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) mission, marking a significant step forward in our understanding of space weather and its interactions with Earth. The mission consists of three small satellites, strategically positioned in a unique formation between 260 and 370 miles above Earth. Their goal is to map the auroral electrojets, enhancing our comprehension of the physical dynamics between Earth and space.
The insights gained from EZIE will be beneficial not only for Earth but also to understand space weather in other magnetized planets within and beyond our solar system. Additionally, the mission aims to develop predictive models to mitigate the impact of space weather on human activities.
As of May 27, all three satellites have confirmed their operational status and are functioning as expected. With initial checks completed and preliminary data collected, EZIE is set to embark on its 16-month journey of discovery.
3D PLUS is supporting this ambitious project with our reliable SPI NOR Flash memories, contributing the mission’s objectives and reinforcing our commitment to advancing space exploration technology.
