Ontario’s strategy emphasizes critical minerals such as high-grade nickel, copper, and platinum group elements for aerospace supply chains.
Ontario’s strategy emphasizes Ontario’s lead in mining and processing critical minerals such as high-grade nickel, copper, and platinum group elements.
Engineers at the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland developed a new manufacturing route for copper rocket nozzles using high-pressure cold spray technology.
The prototype copper rocket nozzle demonstrates that large, high-performance copper components can be produced rapidly with high-pressure cold spray.
The high-pressure cold spray process can reduce production lead times for large copper parts from several months to a few days.
Flexell Space and Kongsberg NanoAvionics are exploring integration of Flexell’s copper indium gallium selenide and perovskite solar cells into NanoAvionics’ cubesat and microsatellite platforms.
Flexell Space is developing Copper Indium Gallium Selenide and perovskite solar cells.
Replacing copper coils with YBCO superconducting material reduced the thruster's power consumption from 285 kilowatts to less than 1 kilowatt.
Conventional MPDTs typically depend on copper electromagnetic coils heavier than 150 kilograms and drawing 200 to 300 kilowatts of power.
The research team replaced bulky copper coils with YBCO high temperature superconducting material that operates at liquid nitrogen temperatures of about minus 196 degrees Celsius.
Replacing copper coils with YBCO superconducting material reduced the thruster system mass from 220 kilograms to 60 kilograms.
Oman will use satellites to identify mineral resources such as copper, zinc and gold around the country.
Satellite-synchronized Airborne Magnetotelluric (AirMT) surveys were utilized at Orestone's Captain Gold-Copper Project in British Columbia.
Sivers will integrate its beamforming integrated circuits with Doosan’s advanced copper-clad laminate manufacturing capabilities.
CIGS solar cells are made from a compound semiconductor consisting of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium and can self-repair damage caused by radiation, allowing them to maintain output for a longer period compared to conventional silicon and gallium arsenide solar cells.
Synthetic graphite is being explored as a lighter and more effective alternative to copper for conducting heat away from spacecraft components.
The solar cells on board are Perovskite/CIGS (Copper-Indium-Gallium-Selenium) and Perovskite/Silicon tandem solar cells, with Perovskite absorbing the blue-green portions of sunlight and CIGS or silicon absorbing the red and infrared portions.
Additive manufacturing enables Aerojet Rocketdyne to produce a copper combustion chamber faster than its traditional tube-walled chamber, increasing production rates and reducing costs.
The partnership will leverage EXOSPHERE BY FLEET® technology and Thor’s expertise for the Alford East Copper-REE Project in South Australia.
The Ursa Major Advanced Manufacturing Lab created an additive manufacturing capability for the NASA-developed copper-chrome-niobium alloy GRCop-42 using Ursa Major’s first large-scale 3D printer.
