The Problem

You need thermal control systems that roll up into launch configuration at a pace traditional thermal technologies cannot provide.

ADAPTABLE THERMAL CONTROL

​A novel & transformative thermal design philosophy made possible by our smart thermal tapes ("ASTRID"). ASTRID grants thermal and systems engineer the flexibility to close design trades at later stages. A thermal architecture designed and built around ASTRID can help your satellite bus accommodate various missions, operational scenarios, and payloads without much rework.

Features & Benefits

  • Mass and power-savings 

  • Less hours on thermal modeling

  • Tune thermal balance in real time

  • Mitigate thermal design errors at any stage

  • Optimize thermal & power performances on-orbit

  • Address unanticipated thermal challenges, scenarios, or requirements change

  • Minimize hardware re-configuration & re-verification on ground

  • Lower thermal incompatibility risks during docking, repair and refueling missions

The Solution

ASTRID speeds up thermal development process, providing a dynamic solution that eliminates time and money wasted on thermal redesign and retest.

A S T R I D

A high performance, customizable, and thin electronic film that transforms surfaces on satellites into programmable & thermally-responsive elements.

Easily installable like Kapton® tapes.

Applicable Surfaces

 Structural panels
 Radiators
 Payload
 Propulsion
 Battery box
 Docking ports    

NEXT-GEN THERMAL MANAGEMENT

Multi-Mission Solution for Multi-Orbit Satellite Platforms 

We can help standard satellite bus manufacturers achieve rapid designs & builds. With ASTRID, your thermal architecture can roll up into configurations quickly and effectively to satisfy changing mission needs, whether on ground or on orbit.
