Purdue, the University of New Hampshire and the University of Alabama will work with NASA to develop a roadmap for in-space manufacturing.

The ACS3 mission expects to demonstrate the successful deployment of the composite boom solar sail in low-Earth orbit to guide the design of future, larger-scale composite solar sail systems.

Collaboration, workforce development and an ongoing focus on scalability and sustainability took center stage at SAMPE 2025 in Indianapolis.

NASA has announced the companies that will conduct research and build prototypes, and build the PPE spacecraft for its Artemis missions.

The Phase II STTR contract from NASA, adding on to the company’s two Phase I programs in 2022, enables AnalySwift to develop and release DATEC, a design tool for engineers to design and analyze tailorable composite structures.

Rocket Lab, Northrop Grumman and Virgin Orbit which have expertise in composites fabrication are among the 12 companies to provide new opportunities for science and technology payloads.

The five-year project employs computational modeling techniques to build composite panels that are three times stiffer and stronger than current carbon fiber to enable manned missions to Mars.

Research funded at Purdue University, University of Texas at Arlington will produce a computer tool to exploit tailorable composites, hybrid material systems for a variety of broad applications.

NASA’s Adaptable Deployable Entry Placement Technology (ADEPT) is a foldable carbon fabric device that opens to make an umbrella-like heat shield.

Innovative technologies and composite materials from RUAG Space and Toray Advanced Composites contribute to protection of the complex observatory at launch and during its six-month journey in space.
