Conductivity thanks to carbon compound
More than 30,000 pieces of debris are orbiting the Earth and pose a threat to active satellites and people on the ISS. The SmallSat Rendezvous & Robotics Group from the Department of Space Engineering at the Institute of Aerospace at the Technical University of Berlin deals with the active removal of debris from orbit. In order to be able to dock with space debris, the gecko materials used for this purpose are INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials heated so as not to freeze.
Unser Carbon compound material Once again makes the interface between the satellite structure and the gecko material conductive: both electrically to prevent static charging and thermally so that the heat is distributed more evenly.
