Humanity’s Return to the Moon: Quest Joins Forces with Lockheed Martin on Self-Deploying Sunshield Technology
Quest Thermal Group, a renowned leader in thermal management solutions, proudly announces its collaboration with Lockheed Martin on a groundbreaking Cryogenic Demonstration Mission. This joint venture brings together Quest Thermal Group’s expertise in cutting-edge thermal technologies and Lockheed Martin’s prowess in aerospace innovation to advance cryogenic systems for future space exploration.
The Cryogenic Demonstration Mission, led by Lockheed Martin for NASA, aims to develop and validate state-of-the-art cryogenic technologies essential for the success of future space missions. Quest Thermal Group will play a pivotal role in this mission by contributing an innovative sunshield for the spacecraft. This new sunshield uses unique properties of Quest’s proprietary discrete spacers to fold then self-deploy lightweight, high performance sunshields.
“We are excited to partner with Lockheed Martin on this NASA Cryogenic Demonstration Mission. This collaboration underscores Quest Thermal Group’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of thermal technology, and we are excited to contribute our expertise to advance cryogenic systems for the next generation of space exploration,” said Scott Dye, CTO at Quest Thermal Group.
Cryogenic systems are critical for various aspects of space missions, including propulsion, life support, and scientific instruments. The collaboration between Quest Thermal Group and Lockheed Martin aims to develop efficient and reliable thermal management solutions capable of withstanding the extreme conditions of cryogenic environments.
This collaborative effort represents a significant step forward in the quest for sustainable and reliable space exploration technologies. Both Quest Thermal Group and Lockheed Martin are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and contributing to the success of future space missions.
