Custom Electronics and PCB Design to Enable Advanced Thermal Control in Harsh Space Environments
Pushing Boundaries in Space Innovation
At Ivory Electronics, we specialize in cutting-edge electronics consultancy and custom instrumentation design. Our proud achievement- Collaborating on a groundbreaking satellite project that integrates a graphene-based smart coating—designed to control thermal radiation on demand in space.
Engineering Excellence Behind the Smart Coating
We proudly designed and developed the custom electronics instrumentation and PCB architecture that drives this revolutionary graphene-based emitter. This smart coating is not just a scientific marvel—it’s a practical solution for managing satellite temperature in the extreme conditions of space.
Key innovations include:
- Custom multiplexing technique to drive novel graphene-based emitter pixels
- Feasibility proven for operation in harsh space environments
- Groundwork laid for future space applications
Launching with Global Leaders
This technology has been tested in orbit via a PocketQube satellite mission in 2024, launched by SpaceX. The mission is led by SmartIR—a spin-out from the University of Manchester’s Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC)—in partnership with Alba Orbital and Hydra Space.
This collaboration highlights our role in enabling real-world applications of advanced materials through precise, reliable electronics design.
Our consultancy delivers:
- Expert PCB design and prototyping
- Custom instrumentation tailored to your application
- Scalable solutions for complex environments
We turn bold ideas into engineered reality.
