This past week has been a pivotal one for advalup as it continues to expand and strengthen its business operations. In the heart of the Toulouse region, known for its rich aerospace heritage, advalup has conducted a series of seven significant meetings with leading entities in the aerospace and space sectors.EngagementEfficiency and environment impactAdapted MethodologySustainable technology for space: HPS GmbHHealable and sustainable composite: CompPairSustainabilitySustainability: our strategyAdditional expertiseIn-house senior consulting activityEngagementThese engagements are much more than routine business encounters; they are strategic discussions focused on the advancing technologies and products that advalup proposes to its clients. The offerings in question are specifically designed to enhance sustainability within these hi-tech industries, reflecting a conscious effort to align with global environmental objectives.Efficiency and environment impactThe conversations revolved around cutting-edge products and flight equipment that promise to redefine industry benchmarks for efficiency and environmental impact. Through innovation and commitment, advalup's solutions aim to contribute towards creating a more sustainable future in space exploration and aviation.Given the critical challenges faced by the planet, such steps are not only encouraging but essential. The focus on sustainability signals a significant shift in how the aerospace sector approaches design, manufacturing, and operations. For advalup, these meetings could represent a substantial leap forward in its quest to be at the forefront of sustainable solutions in the aerospace and space industries.Adapted MethodologyThe strategy outlined emphasizes advalup'scommitment to its foundational methodology, an approach that they consider integral to their identity. As they move forward, there's a firm belief that this core principle will not only remain steadfast but will also attract a broader clientele. The company's alignment with its own DNA suggests a deep understanding of their market position and an unwavering dedication to their unique selling propositions. Advalup likely forecasts that by sticking to what they excel at and continually refining their methods, they will appeal to an expanding segment of customers who are looking for the specific expertise and value Advalup offers. This anticipation of growth and increased interest from the market supports the company’s confidence in its strategic direction for the foreseeable future.Sustainable technology for space: HPS GmbHThe first customer supported by advalup is HPS GmbH. This German SME has developed, under ESA contract, a satellite deorbit subsystem. Probably you know more and more satellites are in LEO orbit altitude with numerous constellations, and space debris are increasing. If nothing is done, the space environment could become inaccessible in the future. That is why ESA and European Space decided in Sevilla to write the "Zero Debris Charter" towards a safe and sustainable space environment. The ADEO subsystem is a scalable drag augmentation device that uses the residual Earth atmosphere present in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to passively de-orbit satellites of sizes between 1 to 2000 kg. For the de-orbit manoeuvre, a large surface is deployed which significantly multiplies the drag effect of the satellite's surface: The drag force is increased, causing an accelerated decay in the orbit altitude. What is advantageous about a drag augmentation device is that it does not require any active steering and can be designed for passive attitude stabilization, thereby making it also applicable for non-operational, and tumbling spacecraft. The passive ADEO subsystem requires neither extra propulsion nor an engine, which adds the advantage of making it lighter than any active subsystem.One major advantage is the completely passive deorbiting without GNC within 5 years to be compliant with new deorbit regulations. The new issue of LOS (Loi sur les opérations spatiales) from CNES will reinforce the need to use the ADEO subsystem for space missions. Sustainability is no longer an option for space.Healable and sustainable composite: CompPairThe second customer supported by advalup is CompPair. The innovative approach taken by CompPair, a company supported by advalup, is transforming the landscape of the composite materials industry. They are pioneering the development of self-healing composites through their breakthrough HealTech resin technology. What makes this innovation particularly compelling is its ability to enable ultra-fast and straightforward repairs for various types of damage in composite structures and components. With this technology, the traditional method of applying patches to damaged areas becomes obsolete, as it allows for the damaged composite to recover its original mechanical properties swiftly.This leap forward in composite repair technology significantly reduces Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) tasks and overall maintenance activities. As a result, not only is the product's durability enhanced by diminishing the frequency of required maintenance, but it also becomes environmentally and economically beneficial by reducing the use of extra materials and cutting down on labor-intensive repair work.One of the most remarkable features of CompPair's HealTech resin is its ability to be repaired multiple times. In fact, damaged areas can be mended more than 60 times, regaining their initial mechanical characteristics with each repair. This repetitive recovery capability is unprecedented in the field of composite materials and serves as a testament to the sustainability and longevity that CompPair's technologies bring to the table.From aerospace to automotive, sporting goods to infrastructure, the potential applications for this self-healing technology are vast. CompPair is effectively setting a new standard for the performance and sustainability of composite materials, driving the industry towards a future where materials are not only strong and lightweight but also self-sufficient and endlessly resilient.- 72% lifetime cost reduction.- 400x faster repair.- 100% regeneration of impacts and fatigue.- +30% crack resistance. => Better durability- +60 regeneration/repair cycles.- Product compatibility with all existing prepreg processes.SustainabilityEnvironmental sustainability is increasingly becoming a non-negotiable aspect for businesses and individuals alike.
