Proven Solutions for Demanding Space and Satellite Programs
Toray Advanced Composites is the proven industry leader in developing and producing advanced materials for satellite and space exploration programs.
Our materials perform in the harshest environments imaginable—from a near vacuum at temperatures approaching absolute zero to the highest levels of solar radiation. And they're still going.
In an industry where perfection is paramount, our materials deliver unsurpassed reliability and performance, conforming to strict NASA and European standards for outgassing and moisture resistance, all while resisting microcracking. With an extensive spaceflight heritage spanning 30 years, it's no wonder the largest space programs rely on Toray.
Benefits of Toray Advanced Composites' Materials
We know space flight. We've combined our more than 30 years of experience, databases, and applications in the space and satellite industries to develop the most durable materials and cost-saving, flexible solutions, such as out-of-autoclave (OOA)/vacuum-bag-only (VBO) processing, to help you compete and succeed. It's no wonder why nearly every space program in the Western world relies on Toray.
Resistant to Thermal Cycling
Toray materials are formulated to resist the regular and extreme heating and cooling conditions of space (thermal cycling).
Low Moisture Absorption
Composite satellite structures must be low in moisture absorption on the ground to reduce the effects of outgassing in space. Toray's resin systems are space flight-approved, and meet strict NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) standards surrounding moisture absorption.
Resistant to Microcracking
Approved for space flight, Toray materials pass extensive microcracking, atomic oxygen, and outgassing standards to assure reliability in space.
