STRENGTH & STIFFNESS

Atomic-6 Process yields 5-10% improvement in specific strength and stiffness vs traditional composites

The Space Mast structure tensions the Space Hinge flexures and solar panels creating a system with high stiffness at low mass

Atomic-6 Space Mast™ structure has a double omega cross section deployed from the root, minimizing cantilevered mass and modal frequency

Atomic-6 Space Hinge™ shape memory flexures connect solar panels to each other and the Space Mast™ structure, ensuring reliable panel spacing and directionality during retraction and redeployment

Atomic-6 Light Sheet™ substrates are compatible with any solar cell and support rollable or Z-fold solar panels

A smarter way forward.

Class-leading power-to-mass ratio.

Up to 200W per kg

• High power-to-mass ratio enables more power and/or more delta-V

• Redeployable, significantly increasing mobility and decreasing risk for rendezvous proximity operations

• Higher stiffness reduces jitter enabling improved imaging and communications
