RD ALFA Microelectronics develops and manufactures certified high reliability and radiation hardened microelectronics components for aеrоspace and defense equipment as well as video transmission/CCTV components.
• Thermal insulation materials/ polyurethane foams for space technology and machinery. (experience since USSR)
• Cryogenic insulation – thermal insulation materials are suitable for application in space by providing heat/cold protection.
• Hard polyurethane foam • Polyurethane foam that would be appropriate for storing liquid hydrogen in special
tanks, or launch vehicles that launch spacecrafts or satellites in the orbit.
• Patent with Astrium on POLYURETHANE FOAM FOR THERMAL INSULATION AT EXTREMELY LOW TEMPERATURES
