The MDA seeks innovative technologies for materials, processes, and manufacturing that will provide reliable, robust, and lightweight components for major space defense acquisition programs. The proposed STTR Phase I project will develop polyimide insulation materials that will protect sensitive cryogenic structures and subsystems from excessive heat buildup as result of direct solar heating, rad ...

Translume is proposing a glass manufacturing process that combines anisotropic wet chemical etching with femtosecond-laser nanostructuring to shape three-dimensional glass objects. This innovative fabrication technique can be used to machine optical structures, optical sensors, and optical surfaces with micron and submicron accuracy. It can also be used to texture surfaces. Our technique is cost-e ...
