VELOX-AM

Collaboration between ARTC/ASTAR and NTU to focus on
  • Space Testing of 3-D Printing Technology and Advanced Space Material

Satellite will demonstrate the following payload items in space:

  1.  3D printed main structure panel/frame.
  2.  Phase-Change Material (PCM) based thermal panel operation. 
  3.  3D printed antenna with wave guide 
  4.  Shape Memory Polymer (SMP) material

Long-term goal is to have a certifiable process for integrated, lightweight and additively manufactured satellite parts.
