Used on nearly every space program in the Western world, including the Mars Rover, countless satellites, and even the James Webb Space Telescope, our exceptionally durable and reliable materials define endurance. Space and Satellite OverviewApplicationsFeaturesProduct FormatsResourcesCase Study Product Explorer Proven Solutions for Demanding Space and Satellite Programs Toray Advanced Composites is the proven industry leader in developing and producing advanced materials for satellite and space exploration programs. Our materials perform in the harshest environments imaginable—from a near vacuum at temperatures approaching absolute zero to the highest levels of solar radiation. And they're still going. In an industry where perfection is paramount, our materials deliver unsurpassed reliability and performance, conforming to strict NASA and European standards for outgassing and moisture resistance, all while resisting microcracking. With an extensive spaceflight heritage spanning 30 years, it's no wonder the largest space programs rely on Toray. Heat Sinks Composite plates and tubes are manufactured with Toray’s highly-conductive pitch-based carbon fiber prepregs, specially developed to withstand high temperatures while resisting the damaging effects of thermal cycling. These unique materials provide effective thermal conductivity, protecting electrical components from damaging heat. Heat Sinks Precision Structures Solar Array, Booms, and Trusses Reflectors and Antennas Benefits of Toray Advanced Composites' Materials We know space flight. We've combined our more than 30 years of experience, databases, and applications in the space and satellite industries to develop the most durable materials and cost-saving, flexible solutions, such as out-of-autoclave (OOA)/vacuum-bag-only (VBO) processing, to help you compete and succeed. It's no wonder why nearly every space program in the Western world relies on Toray. Resistant to Thermal Cycling Toray materials are formulated to resist the regular and extreme heating and cooling conditions of space (thermal cycling). Low Moisture Absorption Composite satellite structures must be low in moisture absorption on the ground to reduce the effects of outgassing in space. Toray's resin systems are space flight-approved, and meet strict NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) standards surrounding moisture absorption. Resistant to Microcracking Approved for space flight, Toray materials pass extensive microcracking, atomic oxygen, and outgassing standards to assure reliability in space.

READ MORE Product Formats UD and Woven Prepregs Toray's prepreg systems are available in both woven and uni-directional tape formats. Toray provides a full range of reinforcements including glass, quartz, carbon, and aramid to provide a total solution for your structural applications. Film Adhesives Toray's film adhesives deliver structural bonding for honeycomb panel assemblies to resist heat and extreme environments. Toray's composite surfacing films provide high-quality cosmetic surfaces directly from the tool. READ MORE Bulk Molding Compounds Bulk molding compounds (BMC) are precision-coated carbon fiber, configured to a prescribed length and width. This chopped carbon fiber is utilized in compression molding processes to produce highly complex composite structure. Longer fibers (1–2 inches/25–50 mm) provide higher tensile strengths, while shorter fibers (0.5 inch/12 mm) allow for molding more complex shapes.
