NASA Announces Safe Night Initiative in Press Release

In an exciting development for the aerospace and defense industry, Cevians' iSafeNight line of polymer NVIS filters has been chosen to support NASA's Artemis II mission. This mission, set to orbit the Moon and recover the astronauts upon their return to Earth, will transport a crew of four aboard the Orion spacecraft.

Cevians' expertise in material science, optics, and understanding of light behaviour at the quantum level has made it a leader in the industry for optical filters, displays, and NVIS solutions. The iSafeNight filters, known for their durability, lightweight and rugged composition, have been field-proven to allow users to operate safely using night vision goggles without performance reduction during critical operations.

These filters, which have already been employed in military helicopters flown by the air recovery team, are designed to optimise visible light transmission and attenuate NIR and IR wavelengths that can interfere with NVG's (Night Vision Goggles). They also boast antiglare surface finishes and enable touch functionality, ensuring optimal user experience in low-light conditions.

Moreover, the iSafeNight filters provide night vision compliance for various displays and devices used in the mission, and enable MIL-STD-3009 compliance for COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) displays used in night operations.

Cevians is proud to support NASA's Artemis mission, as well as military and avionic programs around the globe. The person or institution overseeing the development and manufacturing of iSafeNight filter solutions for Cevians is typically referred to as the project manager or the research and development (R&D) department within the Cevians company.

The iSafeNight filters also improve sunlight readability, making them a versatile solution for a wide range of lighting conditions. Cevians' iSafeNight line of filters is a testament to their commitment to innovation and excellence in the aerospace and defense industry.
