Trade fairs and events

At the Paris Air Show the Fraunhofer IST will present the latest coating developments for space applications at the joint booth of the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI) in the framework of the Fraunhofer Space Alliance.

The Fraunhofer IST will exhibit metallized CFRP waveguide antennas of the ”Sentinel mission”, coated optical filters and lenses for outer space as well as additive manufactured components electroplated with copper, nickel or chromium, which enables their use in space travel. The electrically conductive metal layer significantly increases the mechanical stability of the component and also prevents outgassing.
