Space technologies at the fair!

Starting on June the 8th  fair of advanced solutions for the industry, Innovations-Technologies-Machines Poland will offer the products created thanks to transfer of space technology. On the initiative of the European Space Agency (ESA), POLSPACE / Astri Poland, and the Space Research Centre, visitors will be able to experience an interesting exhibition and a lecture given by a representative of ESA.

During ITM Poland there will be showcased examples of technologies that were created for the purpose of space research and then applied in the conventional industry. This will include lightweight, non-binding motion aero-gel jacket, resistant to temperatures of 3000 and -50 degrees Celsius, a jacket with a layer of hydrogel, resistant to extremely high temperatures and Brembo brake disc, made of ceramic material reinforced with fiberglass, which makes it obtain excellent mechanical properties and durability.

The use of solar energy for remote controlled, unmanned ship took place in the early 90s of the twentieth century. Currently, solar panels are widely used commercially and are characterized by  better parameters. They can be found, among others in mobile phones, calculators, and even in the bags ... One of these bags can be seen on the stand of ESA and POLSPACE /Astri Poland. Thanks to solar panels assembled in the bag, it can charge a mobile phone, laptop, etc.. Moreover, the exhibition will present the different phases of obtaining carbon composites, almost eight times lighter than steel, three times lighter than titanium and twice lighter than aluminum.
