  • Nasa & Aerospace

In the military and while in space, personnel regularly are involved in situations where equipment needs to be accessible yet organized. In space, if items are not tethered, they will float through the cabin and interfere with the astronauts’ work and movement. Astronauts use hook and loop fasteners for multiple applications including securing their food trays to their laps, their specialty tool belts utilize hook and loop technology and the interior of the spacecraft is lined with hook and loop fasteners to hold numerous items in place, conveniently and securely.
