About Orbital Matter
Orbital Matter is a space technology company headquartered in Poland and Germany that develops in-orbit manufacturing systems for large-scale space infrastructure. Its Printer Assisted Deployment System (PADS) uses a UV-curing 3D printing process to create continuous, rigid structural booms ranging from 10 to over 100 meters in length. The system utilizes a proprietary fluid material called Spacecrete that hardens into joint-free structures in orbit. This technology is designed for the deployment of large antennas, solar arrays, radiators, and space station modules that exceed the capacity of traditional rocket fairings and mechanical deployable systems.
