NASA's Mercury MESSENGER Mission was launched from Cape Canaveral on August 3, 2004. Lenox Laser, Inc. was commissioned by NASA to fabricate High Power Ceramic Apertures for spatial filtering which required laser drilling holes (a few microns in diameter) with great accuracy and precision. Ceramic is just one of many readily available materials Lenox Laser is able to process to custom specifications with a relatively short lead time.
MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space, ENvironmental, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is scheduled to "flyby" Mercury on October 6, 2008, and ultimately be inserted in the planet's orbit by March 18, 2011. The Lenox Laser engineering and production teams take great pride in their "microscopic" contribution to the advancement of our knowledge of the solar system and of the universe.
