🚀 We’re sending our materials to SPACE! Literally. At Xheme, we’ve been working on advanced polymer films designed to handle some of the toughest environments. Now, we’re putting them to the ultimate test. As part of the MISSE-22 mission, launching with SpaceX (targeted May 2026), our materials will be placed outside the International Space Station where they’ll face radiation, atomic oxygen, and intense UV exposure for months. There’s no better way to understand performance than testing in the real thing. Once back on Earth, we’ll analyze how these materials held up and what we can improve. The goal is simple: build stronger, safer, and more durable materials not just for space, but for real-world applications here on Earth. This is how innovation should work. Test in the toughest conditions, learn, and come back better. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e2eCRWSx Acknowledgment Research reported in this publication/web page was supported by the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, Inc. and NASA under agreement number 80JSC018M0005. #SpaceTech #MaterialsScience #Innovation #NASA #ISS #DeepTech #FutureOfMaterials #Xheme
