MATERIALS USED

Aerospace-grade Materials Used in Thermal Protection Systems

CORK

An organic product line that is lightweight and acts as an ablative heat shield. Hera Technologies has mastered the art of machining cork in controlled environments to prevent contamination and manages the stabilization of cork internally, because of its tendency to expand or shrink in open air.

ALL METALS

Used primarily for structural components of rockets, metallic parts are insulated using various TPS techniques. Hera Technologies uses advanced three and five-axis equipment for intricate machining of all metallic components used in rocket structures including Titanium, Inconels, 4000 series aircraft alloys, Aluminum, and other exotic metals.

Composites

Hera Technologies specializes in handling and machining layered glass composites, focusing on contamination control, preventing stress cracks and ensuring material integrity.

FOAM

Hera Technologies specializes in various foam types, including insulation and dense tooling foams. We use specialized tools to maintain precision and handle the temperamental nature of foam, ensuring each component meets stringent aerospace standards.

PLASTIC

Hera Technologies handles a broad range of plastics, from flexible nylon to rigid acrylics, requiring precise machining for aerospace use. We specialize in stabilizing and precision-grinding these materials, ensuring they meet the tight tolerances demanded in the industry.

FABRIC

Hera Technologies is adept in using fabrics for diverse aerospace applications, from impact-resistant covers to insulation. Our expertise in fabric selection and design consultation is pivotal for projects like the lunar rover, ensuring optimal thermal engineering solutions.

Thermal Protection Materials

Encompass a variety of materials designed to resist extreme heat, including dense silica and advanced ceramics. Hera Technologies specializes in selecting and machining these materials to fit the unique thermal needs of each launch vehicle.

RUBBER

Critical for sealing and insulation, rubber is meticulously machined at Hera Technologies to maintain its elasticity and durability under extreme conditions.

GASKETS

Essential for ensuring airtight seals in rocket components. Hera Technologies uses advanced cutting technologies to manufacture gaskets that withstand the rigors of space travel.

Aramid and Metallic Honeycomb Core

Known for being strong and lightweight, this material is used in structural components for its excellent thermal and acoustic insulating properties. Hera Technologies has developed processes for the precision machining of this delicate material.
