Zero Gravity Graphene - Satellite Heat Pipes

A team from Graphene Flagship partner institutes Universite libre de Bruxelles (Belgium) University of Cambridge (UK), CNR Bologna (Italy), and Leonardo (Italy) designed an experiment to test how graphene-based coatings can improve efficiency in loop heat pipes, which are used as cooling systems in satellites.

    In a successful collaboration between the Graphene Flagship and the European Space Agency (ESA), experiments testing graphene for two different space-related applications have shown promising results. Based on these results, the Graphene Flagship is continuing to develop graphene devices for use in space.
