Composite Structures and Assemblies
Advanced composite structural solutions for space and aerospace applications including spacecraft bus structures, solar array substrates, booms, and support structures with maximum strength-to-weight performance.
Description
ACT offers a comprehensive portfolio of advanced composite structural solutions following integration of Canyon Composites. Products include aluminum honeycomb radiators, precision solar array substrates, custom primary and secondary bus and payload structures, high-stiffness booms, and backing structures for lightweight reinforcement.
Manufacturing employs 5-axis CNC machining, autoclave cure, and aerospace-grade assembly with bonded inserts and fasteners. Metrology and inspection support tight dimensional tolerances across flight hardware deliveries. Applications span spacecraft, missile structures, UAV components, RF-transparent radomes, and naval composite structures.
