A short, cut, randomly aligned carbon fiber material characterized by high rigidity and mechanical strength, high thermal conductivity, a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and short production times.
CesicR – carbon fibre reinforced silicon carbide-light-weight mirror technology
Cesic®’s material properties and advantages were demonstrated in numerous test and validation projects in cooperation with international space-system suppli- ers and space agencies. For instance, during the ESA- funded JWST NIRSpec program, a flight-representative 1,0 m x 0,6 m optical bench was manufactured, which was qualified for cryo- and mechanical stability under space standards.
Cesic® is a „space-qualified” ceramic material; and the CesicR manufacturing processes are qualified according to the valid quality guidelines of DIN ISO 9001:2000 and ECSS standards.
