SmartIR awarded Innovate Smart-Grant
£350,000 funding secured for developing graphene-enabled thermal radiators for small satellites.
SmartIR has been awarded its first grant, a prestigious Innovate UK Smart Grant, securing £350,000 in funding for developing graphene-enabled thermal radiators tailored for small satellites.
This innovative project aims to leverage graphene's exceptional thermal management properties to enhance satellite performance, reliability, and efficiency in space environments.
The funding will enable us to advance our technology from laboratory prototypes to space-ready systems, addressing critical thermal management challenges faced by the rapidly growing small satellite industry.
