Dell Marking Systems inks help build space shuttles.
August 18, 2011

ATK Thiokol manufactures everything from bullets to the reusable solid rocket motors (RSRM) that have launched every space shuttle since the program's maiden flight in 1981.

To ensure that each RSRM functions perfectly, flight after flight, the company pay close attention to its processes throughout initial production, post-flight inspection, transportation, storage and reassembly. This includes weight-checking the equipment used to handle the rocket's many reusable components.

Once each piece of equipment passes inspection, it is marked with colour-coded ink, so operators will it has been cleared for use. However, this creates a secondary problem, because the ink constitutes a possible source of paint flecks, which can become lodged in an RSRM during reassembly.

To ensure the rockets aren't contaminated, ATK Thiokol uses inks and marking equipment from Dell Marking Systems Inc. The company chose Dell inks after putting the through a series of tests to see how they stood up to moisture, temperature extremes and scuffing.

"We subjected Dell inks to every abuse we could think of," says Jeff Champneys, project manager for RSRM materials, commenting on the testing process. "The inks were found to be exceptional durable...They provide long-lasting traceability, no flaking, chipping or contamination, and they provide safe handling of RSRM hardware."
