Atomic-6 Space Armor tiles reach orbit for the first time
Atomic-6’s Space Armor tiles have reached orbit for the first time.
The tiles are described as able to stop projectiles traveling at up to 16,000 miles per hour.
They are made as armor for use in space, where fast-moving projectiles can pose a danger to spacecraft.
Reaching orbit marks the first time these tiles have been used in space.
The development matters because spacecraft need protection from high-speed impacts.
No further tests or next steps are specified.
