Preservation and reliability of equipment for the space industry
The space industry faces unique challenges, such as the need to maximize efficiency while reducing the weight and footprint of systems. Protection against the extreme conditions of space and the development of custom deployable solutions are crucial aspects to guarantee the success of orbital missions.
Make your space mechanisms reliable in extreme environments
Orbital and planetary missions demand absolute reliability. Radiations, extreme thermal cycles, abrasive lunar dust: without an adapted solution, your critical systems are exposed to costly failures.
Eclore designs custom and lightweight protection solutions for space mechanisms to secure your cutting-edge applications.

Protection against lunar regolith: the challenge of dust and abrasion
We design solutions dedicated to lunar environments and planetary surfaces exposed to abrasive dust:
- Reduction of abrasion related to lunar regolith
- Sealing systems for space mechanisms adapted to vacuum and fine dust
- Enhanced protection of mobile systems: rovers, robotic arms, articulations, and critical joints
High-performance thermal protection for space mechanisms
Our systems provide thermal protection for satellite mechanisms, even in environments subjected to severe extreme cycles:
- High-temperature polyimide bellows
- Thermal barriers
- Thermal protection solutions for sensitive onboard systems
| Characteristics | Polyimide Bellows (Kapton) | Aramid Bellows (Nomex®) |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature range | -269°C to 400°C | -55°C to 220°C |
| Main resistances | Radiation, high temperature | Heat, traction, chemicals |
| Lifespan | 100,000 cycles | 100,000 cycles |
| Thickness | 0.1 to 1 mm | 0.1 to 1 mm |
Toward deployable space structures
Thanks to our unique folding manufacturing process and our advanced expertise in technical materials, we are also able to develop high-performance deployable space structures adapted to future orbital and planetary missions.
This approach opens the way to new applications such as:
- Deployable antennas
- Deployable structural masts
- Deorbiting arms
- Deployable storage tanks for onboard fluids or gases
Our solutions adapt to severe mass and volume constraints
-
Maximum compactness in the stowed position to reduce the footprint at launch -
Guided linear deployment ensuring a controlled trajectory -
Large deployment stroke offering maximum amplitude for mobile structures -
Position locking to guarantee stability in the deployed configuration
