We're excited to share a few exciting updates regarding our ongoing partnership with ??? NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration: NASA has awarded Canopy a Phase 2 Extension (P2E) award totaling $750k that will #accelerate development efforts around 3D printing a reusable thermal protection system (TPS). We'll be augmenting the material formulation and working to engineer compatibility with coating systems that increase emissivity and toughness of our future 3D printed tiles. We were also featured by NASA in an article highlighting our progress on other projects including 3D printed ablative TPS, robotics, and 3D printed technical ceramic components used widely in semiconductor, space, defense, and energy industries. We're proud to be highlighted right alongside Blue Origin, Sierra Space, Northrop Grumman, SpaceX, ThinkOrbital, and other pioneering companies. https://lnkd.in/g877XbRG

Meet the Inventor: Paul Gradl ?? For over two decades, Paul Gradl, now a principal propulsion engineer, has been inventing solutions to address the challenges of space travel. His?work in additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, with a team at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, earned the agency’s most prestigious award in 2024, Invention of the Year.

New Solar Wind Sensor Will Study the Sun from the International Space Station NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is collaborating with the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics on a new experiment that will study the Sun from the International Space Station. The Coronal Diagnostic Experiment (CODEX), which was installed on the station earlier this week, will help us understand the sources of solar wind and how it accelerates. CODEX will provide global, comprehensive datasets covering the full solar corona over a six-month period. CODEX will build directly on solar wind data from previous collaborations with KASI, complementing other Sun-studying missions like Parker Solar Probe and the Solar Orbiter. The data we receive from CODEX will not only help us understand how the Sun interacts with our solar system, but will enhance our ability to detect extreme conditions which could help protect astronauts and robotic explorers in space—and technology on Earth.
