MAP SPACE COATINGS takes part in a french agency (CNES) experiment

MAP SPACE COATINGS, the French specialist in high-performance surface coatings for satellites and launch vehicles, is participating in the Euro Material Ageing (EMA)-SESAME experiment, which is being carried out by CNES on board the International Space Station (ISS).


This ambitious campaign aims to analyse how materials age in real space conditions, characterise the space environment in low-Earth orbit more accurately, and monitor the evolution of compounds of exobiological interest.


In this context, several coatings designed by MAP SPACE COATINGS are currently being exposed to space conditions to study their behaviour and performance in extreme environments. This participation is fully in line with the company's commitment to continuous innovation, which aims to guarantee its customers products that comply with the most demanding durability standards, for current and future space applications.


This is a major step forward for materials science and a strategic milestone for MAP SPACE COATINGS, whose solutions are already used in many international space programmes.
