Yesterday was very exciting- we are in space!
A local Australian company launched a metaphorical "bus" to space. On the bus were payloads from many other tangential Australian space companies, including Spiral Blue, who we mentioned a few weeks ago. Another company that we do some critical hardware manufacture for is called Valiant Space. Valiant is a young company in Brisbane, manufacturing in-space non toxic space propulsion systems. In short, ultra small rocket engines. These rocket motors are responsible for steering the bus in space. Without them, It's safe to say that the mission would be very... directionless...
NH Micro has been working with Valiant for over 3 years, producing valve components for their rocket motors. The valves control the flow of liquid into the combustion zone. They are tight tolerance, highly critical components- parts that we are leveraging our experience in watch manufacturing to help parallel precision industries attain their precision goals. We love making space parts, especially when they are actually deployed in space.
If you'd like to have a look at the launch, here is a short video.

Manufactured in Australia, by your very own watchmaker.
