Hi there my name’s Adam, I work for Goodfellow.
We’re a supplier of materials for research and development.

Recently we’ve supplied some material that’s gone into the James Webb telescope,
some gold foil and that might be one small component but it’s really exciting for us to be involved in these sort of applications.

So another example of a material that we’ve supplied has ended up in space is some platinum wire that was on the Cassini Higgins space probe that went to Saturn.

So again taking measurements from Saturn’s Rings.
But it’s not just metals that we supply we supply polymers, ceramics, alloys, metal alloys, glasses, compounds, composites.

We supply small quantities for R&D and small to medium manufacturing quantities and materials.

So some of the different materials that we provide that are relevant to the space expo,

we supply kapton films, metallized kapton films as well so they’re really important because they’re radiation resistant,
and they they will insulate lightweight materials as well so aluminium foams things that maintain their mechanical properties, while saving weight.

We know that every gram counts in space and then other sort of refractory metals good for harsh environments like you niobiums and your tantalums and your tungstens.
