Thermal Blanketing

Overview

We’re leaders in the creation and installation of Thermal blankets and other innovative thermal products. These custom thermal products are used in flight missions and critical environmental testing. Blankets are insulation implemented as a means of passive thermal control for aerospace satellites in a range of thermal environments ranging from high temp to cryogenic. We also engineer and build Deep Space Radiator Simulators (DSRS) along with Active and Passive Q-meters to help create and carefully measure your thermal test setups.

We design and then create templates or patterns of your thermal products to assure that we establish the best design for your MLI needs. We will also work with you to bring your design to life through use of C.A.D or drawings you provide.

DESIGN

FABRICATION

INSTALLATION

Genesis Thermal Fabrication Team is comprised of highly skilled and experienced specialists. Using approved design templates, Thermal Products are hand crafted to comply with industry design and quality standards. Our Certifications and training in Integration Operations makes us a valuable part of a program’s Integration Team. The same specialists that are involved with the MLI design and fabrication see the product through to completion at installation ensuring design integrity.
