Space

Space, our next frontier, is being shaped by two key trends. First, there is an ongoing focus on traditional space exploration via large satellite launches. Second, the rapidly expanding commercial venture into space tourism is underway, fueling the launches of many small “networked” satellites that establish a broader infrastructure.

Structural film

Structural films are designed to provide high-strength and lightweight reinforcement, making them a valuable component in composite materials for structural applications.

Satellite solar panel

Solar panels point toward the sun as the spacecraft moves, providing energy that is transmitted to the entire device. Electrically conductive adhesives help deliver satellite solar panel performance.
