If you’re hunting for an Ideopia client, look no further than outer space. That’s where you’ll find Reichert Medical Technologies and Hamilton Caster.
NASA is currently using Reichert’s Tono-Pen AVIA® tonometers at the International Space Station. The handheld instruments measure pressure within the eye. The devices were used on the final two space shuttle flights for astronauts to test the long-term effects of weightlessness on their eyes.
Before its 352 million mile journey to the Red Planet, the Curiosity $2.5 billion Curiosity Rover vehicle rolled on Hamilton casters at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Each caster was rated up to 12,000 pounds, about six times the combined weight of the rover, with scientists and testing instruments on board.
