The US Department of Defense invested $7.1 million in Martin Materials Solutions through Chapter III of the Defense Production Act to establish and expand domestic manufacturing capacity for aerospace solar cell cover glass in Ohio. This material is an important component of all satellite solar cells. It can provide radiation protection, wavelength filtration, micrometeorite protection and structural support for solar cells, which is directly related to the longevity and operating efficiency of satellite power systems. The project will support enterprises to improve advanced manufacturing processes, expand equipment, raw materials and professionals, and build a sustainable local production system.
