About

Beyond Gravity is a leading provider of high-quality, reliable, and high-performing multilayer insulation (MLI) solutions for satellites and instruments. We have produced MLI for over 800 satellites, contributing to the success of 50 space projects.

Our MLI can be designed for a wide range of temperature requirements (1K – 1800K), large volumes, and specific missions, including science missions, constellations, and spacecraft requiring MMOD (Micrometeoroid Orbital Debris) and ATOX (Atomic Oxygen) protection.

We design and manufacture custom satellite MLI blankets to meet the exact requirements of our customers, including all cuts, fixations, and grounding points. We use electronic 3D models of the satellite and/or instrument structure to create precise and accurate blankets. For very complex shapes, we build 3D mock-ups and perform template fit-checks to ensure a perfect fit. We also offer cost-efficient built-to-print MLI blanket services.

In addition to satellite MLI, Beyond Gravity offers interfillers that fill gaps between spacecraft components, sensors and heaters to monitor and control the temperature of spacecraft components, and thermal analysis and correlation services. Flight heritage includes the Euclid telescope, Juice spacecraft, BepiColombo, Eutelsat OneWeb and Galileo.
