Space Material
of the Future
Space materials are advanced materials that fully unlock the potential of their properties. When applied on Earth, these materials can enhance the capabilities and applications of materials in various industries.
In-Situ Resource Utilization
The ability to produce essential materials using local resources is a key technology for foundational industries, whether on Earth or on any planetary surface. Therefore, mastering these technologies provides a significant competitive advantage.
Carbon-fiber reinforced
polymerOrthopedic Implant
CFRP, a strong yet lightweight space material, has medical potential but faces design complexity and toxicity challenges. Our team researches safer, high-performance alternatives for bone fixation, aiming to provide patients with advanced, durable, and biocompatible medical solutions.
Lunar Concrete from Simulant
Space construction faces material transport limits, requiring local resources. Our team developed Thailand Lunar Stimulant (TLS) and is exploring ways to mix it with agricultural waste to create concrete, paving the way for future Moon infrastructure.
Lunar Plant from Simulant
We study plant genetics for Moon farming, tackling resource scarcity. This research also aids Earth’s agriculture in harsh conditions. Additionally, repurposing agricultural waste supports our lunar concrete development, paving the way for sustainable space and Earth infrastructure.
