Advanced Thermal Control Polymers for Spacecraft by Triton Systems

Triton Systems, Inc. has developed innovative colorless, atomic oxygen-resistant thermal control polymers for spacecraft applications: PAE-TOR and PAE-COR. These films showcase exceptional thermal-optical properties, providing better durability than existing materials. With over $1M in matching funds and a substantial investment exceeding $500K, Triton is poised for commercialization, targeting spacecraft thermal management, including emerging ComSats. Already in use on space missions, these polymers can significantly extend spacecraft surface life in low Earth orbit, resulting in considerable cost savings.

  1. Colorless, Atomic Oxygen Resistant Polymers for Space Applications Triton Systems, Inc.Chelmsford, MA Innovation Invented a new space durable thermal control film for spacecraft thermal control application. • Accomplishments • Thermal control films exhibit outstanding combination of thermal-optical properties and are more space durable than their competing counterparts in use. • Triton has formed a major partnership with a key manufacturer with ~$1M of total matching funds offered by this partnership. • Triton has invested in excess of $500K of its own funds to commercialize this technology. • Triton’s industrial partner has invested about $500K of in-kind matching funds to commercialize this technology. • Commercialization • Product name: PAE-TOR and PAE-COR Polymers • Triton has four US Patents and patent applications. • The primary target/potential market sector is its use in the thermal management of spacecrafts including emerging ComSats. • Product is currently offered for sale. Advertisements are being placed in leading space publications. • PAE-TOR and PAE-COR offer exceptional resistance to the harsh space environment. No other competing polymeric material offers similar combination of properties. PAE-TOR and PAE-COR Thermal Control Films • Government/Science Applications • PAE-TOR and PAE-COR have already found applications in several space missions. The most near term application is the expected flight of the material as a protective coating for ProSEDS electrodynamic tether project managed by MSFC. These materials are also strong candidates for inflatable structures. • If used as expected, the service life of most spacecraft surfaces in low earth orbit (LEO) could be extended by a factor of two. This step alone will save millions of dollars. Points of Contact: - NASA (Denise Swain; 256/544-8112) - Triton Systems, Inc.
