BG Develop Seal that will be used in Solar Orbiter

Swindon, 16/7/2015. BG Technical Mouldings (Part of 4BG Group) have developed a seal to be used on the Solar Orbiter that is due to fly closer to the sun than any previous craft has ever been.

Solar Orbiter continues a long tradition of European Sun explorers, including Helios 1 and 2, Ulysses, and SOHO, all in partnership with NASA, as well as ESA's PROBA-2.

"Solar Orbiter is a fantastic mission, It will help us understand how the Sun, essential to almost all life on Earth, forms the heliosphere and the origin of space weather, which can have an enormous influence on our modern civilisation."
