As a proud supporter and manufacturer for NASA since 1999, Interconnect Cable Technologies Corporation (ICTC), a global contract manufacturer, highlights its critical role in enabling both the Artemis I and Artemis II missions. ICTC’s advanced manufacturing capabilities supported the production of ground support cables and launch platform instrumentation essential to mission success.
For the ML1 project, approximately 2,500 cables were required, with ICTC manufacturing an estimated 2,000 of them. The company achieved a high success rate supporting both Core Electric and JP Donovan systems, ensuring reliability for critical launch operations. NASA X-ray inspections of ICTC’s cable workmanship for both ML1 and ML2 have been noted as exceeding that of competitors.
“Our team delivered precision ground support solutions that enabled NASA to safely prepare, monitor and launch the ML1 mission,” said Rob Ogilbee, CFO, ICTC. “From the Vehicle Assembly Building to the pad, our cables were instrumental every step of the way.”
Over multiple Artemis missions, ICTC has been a leading supplier of NASA ground support cables, recognized for both volume and quality. The company’s IPC-620 Space Addendum certification ensures its team is qualified to build to spaceflight-level requirements.
ICTC has supported NASA programs since 1999, including major contributions to the ML1 and ML2 platforms. This experience reflects the company’s strength in high-reliability, complex interconnect manufacturing for aerospace, defense and industrial applications.
