As a part of NASA’s Artemis II mission, the crew of the Orion capsule are using 3M™ PELTOR™ ComTac™ VI Tactical Headsets for communication. Artemis II is NASA’s first crewed mission of the Artemis program which sent four astronauts on a lunar flyby. It’s part of the space agency’s work to establish a sustained human presence on the Moon and prepare for future missions to Mars. The crew launched on April 1 and will splashdown April 10 in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego.

3M’s PELTOR™ ComTac™ VI Headsets feature technologies that can help enable communications in challenging environments. Their omnidirectional environmental microphones can sense surrounding sounds, amplify weak sounds to an audible level and automatically compressing loud noise to help users stay aware of what’s happening around them. The headset boom microphone uses noise-canceling technology that transmits the user’s voice while filtering out background noise, keeping speech clear even in high noise environments.

This isn’t the first time 3M products have made their way into a NASA mission.

3M Glass bubbles were used to insulate NASA’s 1.25-million-gallon liquid hydrogen storage tank at Kennedy Space Center, which helped support the launch of the Artemis II mission. NASA selected the hollow glass microspheres after more than 20 years of testing for their high strength, low density and low thermal conductivity, which help limit liquid hydrogen boiloff as cryogenic tanks expand and contract. The improved insulation allows NASA to store fuel longer and support consecutive launch attempts, a key capability for sustained Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond.

In 1969, 3M products were used by astronauts in the first moon landing, including 3M™ Fluorel™ Elastomer, a synthetic rubber used in the astronaut’s boots worn inside the space capsule.

The MetroHealth Foundation celebrated a $1.5 million investment from the KeyBank Foundation supporting the continued growth and impact of MetroHealth’s Opportunity Centers in Cleveland’s Buckeye and Clark‑Fulton neighborhoods. The announcement was made April 22 during the Pathways to Opportunity Celebration at MetroHealth’s Buckeye Health Center.

The three‑year investment builds on KeyBank Foundation’s initial $1.5 million commitment in 2021 and supports MetroHealth’s next phase of work to expand access, capacity and community‑driven services that address the social drivers of health and promote economic stability. With this recent commitment, KeyBank’s lifetime giving to MetroHealth now totals $3.4 million over 23 years of partnership.

Operated through MetroHealth’s Institute for H.O.P.E.™ (Health, Opportunity, Partnership and Empowerment), the Opportunity Centers serve as neighborhood‑based hubs that connect patients, employees and community residents to financial coaching, workforce training, health navigation and trusted community partners – all in one accessible, welcoming space.

“This investment affirms a shared belief that health is shaped by opportunity, stability and access – not only by care delivered in a clinic,” said Christine Alexander-Rager, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of MetroHealth. “Through this partnership with the KeyBank Foundation, we are expanding the reach and impact of services that help individuals and families build stronger, healthier futures.”

KeyBank Foundation’s investment supports MetroHealth’s ‘Expanding Opportunity’ strategy, focused on strengthening and scaling services already embedded in the Buckeye and Via Sana Opportunity Centers. Over the next three years, the funding will enable MetroHealth to:

• Strengthen staffing capacity, including financial coaches and community health workers, to reach more individuals through one‑on‑one support
• Expand workforce development and credentialing programs, including partnerships with Cuyahoga Community College, aligned with high‑demand career pathways
• Enhance technology and digital access, supporting virtual learning, financial wellness workshops and broader community participation
• Grow community partnerships and programming, increasing the number of educational workshops, cultural events and co‑located services available to residents

Since launching the Opportunity Centers, MetroHealth has screened nearly 160,000 individuals for social needs and connected thousands to essential resources. The centers have hosted more than 130 programs, served over 1,000 residents and supported hundreds of individuals in improving financial stability through debt reduction, savings growth and credit improvement.

“Cleveland’s strength is rooted in the well-being and stability of its neighbors and neighborhoods,” said Eric Fiala, Chief of Corporate Responsibility for KeyBank. “This investment in MetroHealth’s Opportunity Centers reflects our belief that strong communities are built by expanding access to opportunity where people live and work. By supporting services that promote financial stability, workforce growth and better health, we’re helping Cleveland’s neighborhoods thrive today and for years to come.”

MetroHealth operates two Opportunity Centers through the Institute for H.O.P.E.™, each tailored to the surrounding community while advancing a shared mission:

Buckeye Opportunity Center, located within the MetroHealth Buckeye Health Center at 2816 East 116th Street, integrates financial coaching and community health workers within a clinical setting to support patients and neighbors

Via Sana Opportunity Center, located at 3335 West 25th Street within the Via Sana affordable housing development, serves as a community‑based hub for education, health promotion, workforce training and partner‑led programming in the Clark‑Fulton neighborhood

Together, the centers reflect MetroHealth’s commitment to meeting people where they are, reducing barriers and strengthening pathways to opportunity.
