Solar rays generate heat that can damage electrical parts. The thickness of coatings on parts used in space is critical to disperse the heat.
In Huntsville, AL, a few miles from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, sits a 22,000-square-foot facility that houses AZ Technology Inc. One of the specialties at AZ Technology is the precise application of coatings designed to meet the harsh demands of space environments, including those that will be faced by the International Space Station Project.
