Atomic-6, a specialist in advanced composite materials, has introduced Space Armor tiles - the first orbital debris shield designed to block hypervelocity impacts while allowing unhindered radio communications. These RF-permeable protection tiles are engineered to prevent fragmentation and eliminate the risk of secondary debris, setting a new benchmark in spacecraft safety and sustainability.

Traditional Whipple shields, developed in the 1950s, use metallic layers to absorb impacts from micrometeoroids and orbital debris but add considerable mass and obstruct radio signals. When struck, their metallic structure also tends to fragment, releasing additional debris that can endanger nearby spacecraft. Atomic-6's new composite technology aims to break that cycle.

"This is a big deal. We made
