Results |
"The overall measurement showed very stable material properties of the radiation shield and the composite panel. The composite material from the 5M company thus found its way into other ESA satellites. Surface coating technology continues to be developed at TTS and RITEi in cooperation with ESA," adds Vladimír Dániel. |
