Luna coating provides radiation protection in space

The space environment poses significant challenges to technology platforms, space exploration, and mission assurance. Mission planners are continually striving to push technologies further to explore new and environmentally harsh regions of the universe. Highly charged environments can exist at Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), and Polar Low Earth Orbit (PLEO) owing to solar winds/storms and charged particles trapped in Earth’s radiation belts.1-3 Just…Read More

Picometrix® finds its new home as the TeraMetrix™ division of Luna

Picometrix® is a name synonymous with state of the art terahertz systems.  With release of the first commercially available terahertz system in 2000, Picometrix established itself as the world leader in fiber coupled terahertz.  Now with a 4th generation product on the market, and our world leading position in industrial process control, we are changing our name.  Under the same leadership and technical team, we…Read More

Luna’s TeraMetrix division is featured in the Nov/Dec issue of Plastics Engineering

The pulsed terahertz systems made by our TeraMetrix division (formerly Picometrix) have been deployed into more than 30 industrial plants manufacturing plastic products.  Terahertz gauges can make multiple measurements simultaneously and provide higher precision than other methods.  Most often, the terahertz gauge is used to measure the thickness of each layer of a multilayer product, but it can also detect the delamination between those layers….Read More

Luna’s Low Cost Autonomous Coating Condition Monitoring System

Ethan Thompson, Kevin Farinholt Approximately 4,000 ballast tanks across the U.S. Navy’s fleet must be inspected annually to determine their structural health and identify the presence of corrosion (Figure 1). These inspection efforts cost approximately $200 million dollars a year, with about 50% of the cost attributed to unexpected or unplanned repairs. The U.S. military is looking to transition from time-based inspection practices to condition-based…Read More

Electrically conductive structural adhesives: Simplifying complex bonding problems

  Dealing with electrical threats in the aerospace community is an extremely difficult and challenging problem.  Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) can catastrophically damage critical aircraft electronics and jam radio and radar signals. Similarly, ESD and EMI threats can render expensive and mission-critical satellites inoperable. At joints, gaps, and fastener locations it is very important to have continuous electrical conductivity to protect against…Read More
