THE COVER: Electronic packaging is the key to the effective use of electronics in modern systems technology.
For more than half a century, APL has provided innovative electronic packaging solutions for major system development efforts, ranging from the VT fuze to the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft. The cover illustrates some of our major packaging successes along with renditions of modern integrated circuits. The explosion in density and speed of the integrated circuit is driving worldwide electronic packaging to new levels of miniaturization and performance. (Cover illustration by Kenneth R. Moscati and Lori A. Hartman.)
