MMOD Shields
Aerospace Fabrication and Materials, LLC
AFM’s MMOD shields utilize cutting-edge materials, including Beta Cloth, Kevlar®, and Nextel® fabrics, to provide unparalleled protection for spacecraft against high-velocity micrometeoroids and orbital debris.
About
MMOD (Micrometeoroid Orbital Debris) Shields are specialized hybrid blankets designed for the aerospace industry to safeguard vulnerable surfaces from high-velocity particles encountered in space. Aerospace Fabrication and Materials (AFM) custom-designs these armor-like blankets to protect spacecraft and satellites from the effects of debris penetration, reducing the risk of damage caused by micrometeoroids and orbital debris during space exploration. In addition to their protective capabilities, these advanced MMOD shields offer passive thermal control, ensuring operational efficiency and helping your craft remain operational and efficient amidst the increasing challenges of space debris. Our MMOD shields are reinforced, MLI coverings that provide both passive thermal control and advanced debris protection, custom-designed to address the unique challenges faced by your spacecraft. Having reliable debris shields is vital to ensure continued operational efficiency in orbit. By leveraging expertise in satellite shielding and Kevlar® shield design, AFM engineers produce specialized space shields in the form of blankets and bumpers to safeguard spacecraft.
