Space Travel

NASA trusted our meshes for the Apollo space progamme and sent 760 of our products to the moon on board Saturn-V rockets. Find out more about this at «BOPP Entdecken». Today, many other diverse organisations and OEMs involved in space travel put their trust in BOPP. Quite correctly!

Hardly any other sector puts as many or as rigorous challenges on installed components as the field of space travel. Criteria such as resistance to vibration at start up, equal resistance to extremes of heat and cold, lightweight construction, resistance to radiation and the requirement for miniaturisation of omponents all come together here.

Fine metal meshes match these requirements brilliantly. The highest quality, guaranteed reproducibility and optimum safety are prerequisites for a successful space mission.

Our versatile meshes are used in space travel as the first line of defence in the filtration of the most diverse media. They are used in fuel filtration, for the oxygen supply, in the filtration of hydraulic fluids, in the drive systems, water filters and so much more. Additionally, our metal meshes offer reliable protection in screening from electromagnetic fields.

  • No other material performs as well as metal for filtration solutions in space travel
  • Our metal meshes are exceptionally robust in the harsh environments of space travel
  • BOPP’s product portfolio offers an extensive choice of different metals
  • Our in-house fabrication capabilities facilitate the processing of metal meshes into cusomter specific moulded components
