ISBA Insulation Solution based on Aerogels
Aerogels are highly open-porous nanostructured materials with very low bulk density and exceptionally low thermal conductivity, which makes them particularly interesting for space applications.
Market-leading end-users such as Ariane Group, Thales Alenia Space and Air Liquide present state-of-the-art applications ranging from satellites to tanks for launch vehicles.
The aim of the ISBA project is to develop European-made material solutions to high maturity levels (TRL 7) and reduce dependency outside Europe. The aerogel materials will be developed by leading European research groups, including DLR (DE), Tecnalia Research & Innovation (ES), the Center for Applied Energy Research (DE), KEEY Aerogel (FR) and the University of Debrecen (HU). The project consortium also includes Hutchinson (FR), responsible for wrapping technologies for packaging the aerogels.
