MMOD Space Shields: Thermal Control & Protection From Debris in Orbit
MMOD shields (Micrometeoroid Orbital Debris Shields) are specialized hybrid blankets designed for the aerospace industry to safeguard vulnerable surfaces from high-velocity particles encountered in space. AFM’s MMOD space shields serve as critical barriers, protecting spacecraft and satellites from the effects of debris penetration and helping to reduce the risk of damage caused by micrometeoroids and orbital debris.
Our MMOD shields are reinforced, MLI coverings that provide both passive thermal control and advanced debris protection. We custom design our MMOD shields to address the unique challenges faced by your spacecraft.
The Importance of Spacecraft & Satellite Shielding
Having reliable debris shields is vital to ensure continued operational efficiency in orbit. By leveraging our expertise in satellite shielding, Kevlar® shield design, and more, our engineers produce specialized space shields in the form of blankets and bumpers to safeguard your spacecraft.
