Honeybee's Dust-Tolerant Connector (DTC) technologies enable reliable mechanical, electrical, and fluid connections through many mate/demate cycles in the presence of highly abrasive and adhesive lunar dust.
- Scalable connection. Our core mechanical DTC technology is suitable for a wide range of interfaces, from small electrical connections up to tool changers for end-effectors with large loads and misalignments.
- Mate/demate in dusty environments. Honeybee's patent-pending electrical DTC technology uses a penetrable membrane to completely shield pins and sockets from dust, even when mating/demating in the field.
- Specialized test facilities. Our unique DUsty environment Simulation Test chamber (DUST) affords the ability to test mechanisms at lunar temperature and pressure, in the presence of plasma-dried lunar soil simulant.
