Arceon

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to present our tech to some of the renowned US Defence players like General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and Lockheed Martin. We were amongst the 15 selected start-ups who got this opportunity. We would like to thank Brainport Development and Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij (BOM) for hosting the Blue Magic event.

Arceon, an alumnus of ESA Business Incubation Centre Noordwijk, reached a significant milestone by closing its funding round ahead of the launch of its ceramic matrix composites into space as part of the 𝐄𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐄𝐌𝐀) 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧. Founded by Rahul Shirke (CEO), Rahul Sharma (COO), and Bernhard Heidenreich (CTO), Arceon develops 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭-𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬. With the support from European Space Agency - ESA and the NSO - Netherlands Space Office, Arceon graduated from ESA BIC Noordwijk in 2023 and has been manufacturing composites that can withstand the harsh conditions of space. Arceon's composites, which are lighter and more heat-resistant than current alternatives, are now being 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞. These materials, made of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), offer low density, high temperature resistance, and high strength. The in-space testing results are expected to expand the understanding of Arceon's advanced composites. With the support of ESA's Business Incubation Centre and 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, Arceon is poised to transform its technical success into a strong commercial presence.

Arceon has secured its 3rd European Space Agency - ESA project! This time, in collaboration with The Exploration Company as the prime. We will be developing a component for the high-thrust staged combustion engine. We will reveal the component in the upcoming months on Arceon's linkedin page.

This year at Space Tech Expo Europe, We will be present at the iconic orange NL Space Pavilion. Our CEO, Rahul Shirke, will showcase our ISS flight materials, rocket nozzles and leading edges.

Today, we achieved a surreal milestone: Our material variants were launched to the International Space Station with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration- SpaceX's 31st Cargo Supply Mission. We would like to thank European Space Agency - ESA, SpaceX and NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration for their support. Special thanks to DLR Institute of Structures and Design, Agnieszka Suliga & Johanna Jeanette Wessing, Ph. D. for assisting us with this project. Arceon aims to revolutionize the manufacturing of materials for extremes - transcending boundaries of performance and scalability to unlock the full potential of innovations. The team works extremely hard to fulfil this goal. 📸 : NASA Live Youtube #ISS #euromaterialageing #novelmaterial #space #future #innovation
