Real-time particle deposition monitoring for classified environments, with no data leaving your security perimeter.

The James Webb Space Telescope cost ten billion dollars to build and cannot be serviced in orbit. When Northrop Grumman needed continuous particle deposition monitoring throughout its assembly in Redondo Beach, California, a standard monitoring platform was not the answer. The facility was highly secured. The data had to stay inside. And the product — 18 gold-coated primary mirror segments machined to nanometre-level tolerances — could not absorb a single undetected contamination event.
