Collaborations

Chosen by NASA and collaborating with the next generation of visionaries, with our space-grade lubricants, we’re helping to move space exploration forward.

Visionary collaborations since the 1960s

We have worked in space for over 60 years. Since NASA landed humans on the moon in 1969, space has opened up to new players including, the next generation of scientists, engineers and academic institutions. We collaborate with experts across the entire space operation - from Mission Control to lubricating engines on the ground.

Mars

Chosen by NASA

Our products are in the veins and components of NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover and 2012 Curiosity Rover, which must operate in Mars’ extreme environment where in summer it is 20°C at the equator and -153°C at the poles. Both Rovers are still going strong today.
