Motorola

US

Motorola, now primarily known as Motorola Solutions, has a historical presence in the space industry, particularly in providing mission-critical communication and technology solutions. It was an early NASA supplier, providing radio equipment for spaceflights for decades, including S-Band transponders on Apollo missions that relayed communications between Earth and the Moon. Motorola's space-related contributions included transponders, communication links, and equipment for processing TV signals, enabling the transmission of telemetry, voice, video, and biomedical data. While it has shifted focus, Motorola's legacy includes essential contributions to early space communication systems.
