The Drive article spotlights zip ties on NASA's Perseverance rover, highlighting Ty-Rap cable ties (made from melt-processable copolymers) as a durable, simple solution for securing cables in extreme conditions. It notes that these ties have a long history with NASA, including Curiosity, and that ABB manufactures them; the piece uses it to illustrate practical hardware engineering in space.
