More than just a shield - the building blocks of a permanent future in space

Satisfying multiple mission requirements with a single multifunctional composite layer

Durability for a variety of structural applications

Optimal thermal & optical properties for flexible integrations

Building on decades of radiation physics research from NASA & ESA, CSC's 3D printed metamaterial - Plasteel™ - seamlessly integrates high performance shielding into virtually any form factor.

Applications

  • Plasteel™ Electronic Systems

    The new wave of space commercialization requires computing performance far exceeding what traditional rad-hardened components have to offer.

    With Plasteel™ , modern electronics can reliably and safely be sent into orbit.

    Plasteel™ protects any system from failures, charge build-up, and degradation due to ionizing radiation.

  • Stations and Habitats

    Microgravity Research & Manufacturing, Space Tourism, and more.

    Entire space station modules can be seamlessly 3D printed to create an ideal environment for highly sensitive microgravity R&D, on-orbit manufacturing, or even space tourism.

  • Space Suits

    Safer, more comfortable, and form fitting space suits.

    CSC is conducting groundbreaking research on thin, flexible space suits for NASA’s Artemis program to land the first woman on the moon.
