And despite launch costs falling from the order of tens of thousands of dollars per kg. for traditional rockets to close to $5000\/kg offered by new competitor SpaceX, any savings in mass remain welcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: 29;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: 29; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">Responding to the need for lightweight components, Japan&rsquo;s Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has started constructing a facility that will double the satellite-component production capacity of its Sagami Factory in Sagamihara, Japan. The factory is Mitsubishi Electric&rsquo;s core production and testing site for solar array panels, structural panels and other satellite components. The new facility, which will commence production in October 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: 29; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">Previously, Mitsubishi Electric developed a low-cost manufacturing technology based on vacuum-assisted resin-transfer molding (VaRTM) for CFRP components. Initial applications are in ultra-high-speed elevators and industrial fans. This technology is also applicable for satellite components.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: 29; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\">Low outgassing cyanate ester thermoset resins are normally employed as the matrix resin in composites for satellite components, while pitch-based carbon fiber is the preferred reinforcing material.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: 29;\">[EasyDNNGallery|5458|Width|400|Height|400|position||resizecrop|False|lightbox|False|title|False|description|False|redirection|False|LinkText||]\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">New facility will double capacity for satellite components at Mitsubishi Electric.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #3f3f3f;\">Source:&nbsp;www.plasticstoday.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: 29;\">Japan&rsquo;s Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has started constructing a facility that will double the satellite-component production capacity of its Sagami Factory in Sagamihara, Japan.
