Client Need
Satellites are a vital technology for national security and defense, but most were not designed to be maintained or repaired in-space. A DOD program office was interested in exploring the applications of polymeric and elastomeric materials in On-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Maintenance (OSAM) with the goal of finding innovative ways to extend the service life of satellite assets in orbit.
Results
In less than three weeks, we delivered actionable analysis on the use of polymeric and elastomeric materials in OSAM technology areas and identified the leading suppliers, research institutions, and experts in polymeric and elastomeric materials
Identified nearly 700 OSAM materials companies, and research institutions conducting leading R&D
