Atomic-6, a US-based advanced composites firm, recently introduced Space Armor tiles designed to combat the growing threat of space debris, a critical concern for India’s expanding space program, including the Gaganyaan mission and ISRO’s satellite constellation. These innovative composite tiles, developed through a unique fiber-to-resin process, provide enhanced protection against hypervelocity impacts while minimizing secondary debris, thereby securing vital communication infrastructures. With lightweight variants catering to various debris sizes, this technology is particularly significant for India, which aims for greater self-reliance in space defense amidst geopolitical tensions and rising threats to its orbital assets. The adoption of such advancements is essential for maintaining national security and operational capabilities in an increasingly congested low Earth orbit environment.
