From its HQ in Marietta, Georgia, Atomic-6 is looking to protect astronauts and satellites from high-velocity crashes.

"We took the shot at making a tile and were blown away by the test results."

The composite shielding designed to protect spacecraft from debris impact was developed by Atomic-6 under a U.S. Space Force Small Business Innovation Research contract

With the increasing risk of space collisions, retractable solar arrays can reduce the risk for satellites flying near orbital debris.

Composite materials startup Atomic-6 secured a $2 million agreement with the U.S. Space Force to mature its solar power array for military satellite applications, the company announced July 2.

Atomic-6 won a $2M contract from SSC to continue development of its Light Wing solar array, which collapses to enable RPO and stealth missions.

Atomic-6 secures a TACFI award to advance Space Armor™, lightweight shielding tiles designed to protect space assets from debris and kinetic energy threats, with first flight testing underway.

Atomic-6 partners with Starpath Robotics to develop a deployable composite boom for lunar solar power systems, advancing cislunar infrastructure for a multiplanetary future.

Atomic-6 has been selected by AFWERX for a SBIR Direct-to-Phase II contract in the amount of $1.245 MM

Atomic-6 secures $9.2M to revolutionize aerospace and defense with cutting-edge composite technologies.

Atomic-6 wins an AFWERX SBIR Phase I contract to develop advanced radomes, showcasing its commitment to driving innovation in national defense.

Atomic-6 secures a $100,000 STTR Phase I contract to revolutionize hypersonic thermal protection systems with innovative mold technology, advancing U.S. defense capabilities.

Atomic-6 has been awarded their fourth STTR Phase II contract valued at $1.25 million.

There were 36 companies admitted into the program and they are among the 15 ventures that graduated.

Atomic-6 welcomes Christian Carpenter as Interim COO, bringing 22+ years of expertise from NASA, SpaceX, and Aerojet Rocketdyne to drive the transition from R&D to scaled commercial production.

Atomic-6 secures a Direct-to-Phase II SBIR award to develop lightweight MMOD shielding, advancing spacecraft protection with cutting-edge composites for the U.S. Space Force.

Atomic-6 secures a $146,000 Phase I STTR contract from the U.S. Air Force to advance materials and processes for next-generation hypersonic weapon systems.
