infinite POSSIBILITIES

Solutions

Sometimes our customers know exactly what they need. Other times, they just have an idea, sketched on the back of a napkin. Customers don’t engage with MMA because we have products on shelves; they partner with us because we know how to solve unique, interesting and challenging problems. We often help our customers define their requirements. Our solutions focus allows us to get things done reliably and elegantly.

Relevant

Our heritage, expertise and broad capabilities enable us to be as lean or as rigorous as the mission requires. We are proud to invite diverse perspectives and ideas on the team, and on each project. From 40 year industry veterans to student interns, we know that everyone has a voice and we all benefit when we listen.

Innovation

Like all of our innovative solutions, each mission is unique and requires a unique approach.

Our culture of enterprise and invention is balanced by established and proven processes.

Precision

We know what differentiates us is our ability to be agile while at the same time delivering high-reliability solutions that retire risk… and sometimes embrace it.

Excellence

We’re proud to be collaborators, problem solvers and risk-takers.

We strive for excellence in everything we do. Keeping almost everything we make under one roof gives us the confidence we need to know that we can control timelines and costs on programs, but also, importantly, quality. Our team knows they can rely on each other to delivery high reliability solutions.

No challenge is too big, and no customer request too small. Quality, excellence… infinite POSSIBILITIES.

Craftsmanship

People

Talk with our team and you will experience firsthand our passion, curiosity and excitement about the work we get to do every single day.

Passion

Space is truly our passion, and exploring is in our DNA.

Our Toolbox Composite Slit Tube Tapes

Our high-strain composite slit tube tape technologies enable just about every deployable MMA solution. Proprietary composite layups as well as technologies we have licensed from NASA to use and further develop support the deployment of our membranes and truss booms in novel ways.

Tape Deployer Assembly

MMA’s Tape Deployer Assemblies, or TDAs, are a building block of our booms, some antenna architectures, solar arrays and other deployables. These are mechanical drive units for storage and deployment of slit tube tapes for large membranes and truss boom deployment systems. Our TDAs have been flight proven on a P-DaHGR antenna with the R3D2 mission.

Membranes

Our membranes are our competitive advantage. Using these in a variety of architectures and for many applications enable high-compaction stowage requirements for our large deployables and light weight structures.

Deployment Hinges

Constant Torque hinge deployment mechanism with rate control and position sensor for large, rigid, multi-panel deployment systems, such as Solar Arrays.

Drive Control Unit

Provides motor driver and controls for Tape Deployer Assemblies and other motorized mechanisms.

Hard Stop Actuator

Used for fine angle adjustment in large panel deployment systems.

Emulators

Provide hardware in the loop testing capabilities for early program checkout / simulations.
