Flight Heritage
…from Note Pad to Launch Pad
2018
Robotic Refueling Mission 3 (RRM3)
Quest’s IMLI achieves TRL-9 aboard the NASA RRM3 Technology Demonstration Mission, insulating the cryogenic flight receiver dewar on the first in-space cryogenic propellent transfer.
2019
Green Propellant Infusion Mission (GPIM)
Quest’s IMLI insulated the NASA/Ball GPIM Technology Demonstration Mission to test a new “green” propellant.
2020
Lightweight Vacuum Shells
Quest continues development of Multi-Environmental MLI for NASA for ISRU liquefaction/storage on Mars surface or stratospheric operation. Discrete Space Technology enables a very lightweight 16mil aluminum vacuum shell.
2021
Lucy Spacecraft – L’RALPH Instrument
Quest’s IMLI provided thermal management for the LEISA instrument radiator on the NASA Lucy spacecraft, the first mission to the Trojan Asteroids surrounding Jupiter.
2022
IMLI insulates part of Roman Space Telescope
Quest IMLI insulates part of the WFI on the Roman Space Telescope. This next-gen Hubble will provide amazing images!
2024
Near Earth Object Surveyor (NEOS)
Quest IMLI will help insulate the NASA Near Earth Object Surveyor space telescope. The robust structure of IMLI allows insulation panels to span large distances on the telescope.
2025
Lunar Environmental Monitoring Station (LEMS)
Quest IMLI allows the NASA LEMS lunar surface science payload to survive the long, cold lunar night. TRL-6 ground testing validated IMLI’s high performance. Flight hardware for deployment on Artemis III is in fab!
