SmallSats and CubeSats increasingly rely on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electronics to achieve high performance at low cost. However, conventional aluminum shielding introduces significant mass and volume penalties and often fails to provide localized thermal paths for high-power processors.

We are developing lightweight polymer composite shielding architecture aiming to achieve lower Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) requirements with compariable radiation protection and improved thermal management.

Plasma, as often referred to as the "4th state of matter", enables unique chemical reaction pathways.  Low temperature plasma (LTP) is a type of plasma where only the electrons are selectively energized while the heavier ions and molecules largely stays at lower temperature.

Leveraging these unique features, we explore the potential of LTP technology in sanitation, food & agriculture, and chemical synthesis.
