Proven Solutions for Innovative Spacecraft and Launch Vehicles
As the aerospace industry continues to reach unprecedented heights, OEMs require highly specialized materials for spacecraft and launch applications. This ever-evolving sector of the aerospace industry has traditionally focused upon expendable launch vehicles (ELVs) that are single-use applications. Recently, there has been a shift in focus towards the adoption of reusable launch vehicles (RLVs) and this shift introduces a new set of challenges... Manufacturers and OEMs alike need to ensure that each structural component remains strong and durable even in the harshest of environments in order to ensure the success of every mission.
