We are becoming a space-faring civilization, and for the future of space travel, we need to protect humans in space and extend the life of our electronic systems. Melagen shielding systems offer radiation-hardened resilience to any electronic system, eliminating the need for bulky, costly custom-designed mechanical assemblies and expensive components. We have the opportunity to expand our shielding integration into systems used in medical devices, spacesuits, Mars/lunar habitats, and nuclear reactor facilities.
