Quest Thermal Group developed its integrated multi-layer insulation (IMLI) with funding from the NASA SBIR/STTR program. IMLI is high-performance insulation that protects spacecraft and cryogenic systems from extreme temperatures at a lighter weight than traditional MLI. IMLI performed successful flight demonstrations on NASA’s Robotic Refueling Mission 3 in 2018 and NASA’s Green Propellant Infusion Mission in partnership with large business Ball Aerospace in 2019, opening the door for additional opportunities with NASA and commercial customers.
