*Ice removal by plasma actuatorsThe Experimental Aerodynamics Area of the Spanish NationalInstitute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) investigates thegeneration and control of plasma to adapt the aerodynamics andthe conditions of the air that flows around the bodies |
|
*High temperature oxidation protective coatingThe Metallic Materials Area of the Spanish National Institute ofAerospace Technology (INTA) develops the application ofslurry-type paints to protect metallic materials exposed to hightemperatures in steam atmospheres and other corrosive gases. |
|
*Self-calibrating non-contact temperature sensorThe Spanish Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, INTA-CSIC) hasdeveloped the remote temperature sensor currently in use on Mars,aboard the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. Its self-calibrationcapability ensures its reliability throughout the mission. |

*Cooling through plasma actuatorsThe Experimental Aerodynamics Area of the Spanish NationalInstitute of Aerospace Technology (INTA) investigates thegeneration and control of plasma to adapt the aerodynamics andthe conditions of the air that flows around the bodies |
|
*Fiber optic based ice sensorThe Composite Materials Area of the Spanish National Institute of AerospaceTechnology (INTA) has developed a fiber optic sensor that instantly identifiesthe presence of ice on the surface of a body, being able to distinguish differenttypes of ice. |
|
*Polarization Modulator Based on Liquid CrystalsThe Space Optics Department at INTA has developed the polarization modulators based on liquid crystals for the PHI and METIS telescopes onboard Solar Orbiter mission, in operation currently. These devices allow the analysis of the light polarization of an scene with significative lower mass, volume, power and cost than the traditional systems. These features make them suitable for their use in small satellites allowing performaces for Earth Observation and Communications systems only achieved before for large satellites. |
|
*Air purification device through ionizationThe Department of Optoelectronics and Missile Sciences of theNational Institute of Aerospace Technology investigates theelimination of pathogens, such as SARS-CoV-2, from the air. |
