Parraid, a small engineering products company in Southern Maryland, is proud to have been a part of the successful operations of the Perseverance Mars Rover Mission as the supplier of a Rugged USB 3.0 Hub. 

The Parraid Rugged USB 3.0 Hub is the toughest 4-port hub on the market and was used on the Perseverance Mission during the Entry, Descent, and Landing stage. Designed from the ground up for the most extreme operating environments encountered by modern advanced mobile IT systems, the Rugged USB 3.0 Hub is certified to MIL-STD-810 for temperature, vibration, and pyro shock, as well as to MIL-STD-461 for emissions and susceptibility. The sturdy and dependable Rugged USB 3.0 Hub is the strongest way to interconnect deployable systems and is fast and reliable under the harshest conditions.

Alan Parris, EVP for Engineering, notes that “We are thrilled to have been just a small contributor to NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover Mission. Clearly, if the Rugged USB 3.0 Hub can survive a trip to Mars, it can work for the toughest missions here on Earth.”
