Another innovative technology with broad potential lifted off recently with the launch of NASA\u2019s Juno satellite.<\/p>\n<p>Applied NanoStructured Solutions, LLC (ANS), a <a class=\"wikinvest-suggestion-link wikinvest-suggestion-explicit\" articletype=\"company\" articletitle=\"TG9ja2hlZWQgTWFydGlu_0\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wikinvest.com\/stock\/Lockheed_Martin_(LMT)\" ticker=\"NYSE%3ALMT\">Lockheed Martin<\/a> company, produced the carbon nanostructure-infused fibre used to make contoured supports to prevent thermal blanketing from interfering with the three solar array support mechanisms. The supports also provide an electrostatic discharge path. During its five-year journey to Jupiter, the Lockheed Martin-made Juno spacecraft will rely on solar energy to power it computers and instruments.<\/p>\n<p>Juno lifted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida on August 5. The probe covered the 250,000 miles to the moon\u2019s orbit in one day and will take another five years and 1,740 million miles to reach Jupiter, the solar systems\u2019 largest planet and 10 times the size of Earth. \u00a0Juno will orbit Jupiter 33 times over the course of a year to study the planet\u2019s origin and evolution in hopes of learning more about our solar system.<\/p>\n<p>The strong, lightweight carbon nanostructure-infused fibres provide mechanical properties along with multi-functionality such as customisable electrical and thermal conductivity. They could potentially replace materials and systems in commercial and defence applications.<\/p>\n<p>The carbon composite supports reduce Juno\u2019s weight by incorporating several separate functions into the structure itself. The material\u2019s conductive properties provide an electrostatic discharge path, electromagnetic shielding and electrical grounding for the electronics, eliminating the added weight of separate systems. ANS provided the materials to Lockheed Martin Space Systems, who used standard composite manufacturing processes and tooling to mould the supports.<\/p>\n<p>Tushar Shah, chief technology officer for ANS.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This marks the first demonstration of carbon nanostructure-infused, multi-functional composite material on space platforms. These materials are an attractive alternative to existing composites, which only perform a single function, It is a great achievement by the ANS engineering team to go from idea conception to deploying a next generation material in space in four years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[rssless][raw][connections id=&#8217;39,40&#8242;][\/raw][\/rssless]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lockheed Martin subsidiary\u2019s new technology protects key system for Juno\u2019s six-year mission to explore Jupiter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1489,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[139],"tags":[335,32,334,336],"class_list":["post-1488","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aerospace-aviation","tag-appled-nanostructured-solutions","tag-carbon-fibre","tag-lockheed-martin","tag-nasa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
