Virgin Galactic space shuttle project
After two years of cooperation with The Spaceship Company (later Virgin Galactic), C-COAT's thermal insulating coating was implemented on a space shuttle to protect against extreme re-entry heat.
We were asked if C-COAT is able to provide a protection from the extreme heat while space shuttle is returning to earth? Although without previous experience with space applications our Team at C-COAT accepted a challenge and after 2 years of cooperation, initially with The Spaceship Company (TSC) which was later re-branded to Virgin Galactic, the innovative solution with C-COAT Thermal Insulating Coating material was implemented to the one of "flying birds".
All successful launches and returns to earth in 2022-2023 were also contributed by C-COAT! We are very proud on that our light weight thin coating insulating material is associated with revolutionary "feather technique" of landing space shuttle.
