Schott microcrystalline glass used in the aviation industry

Due to its special physical and chemical properties, such as low coefficient of thermal expansion, high thermal stability, and excellent temperature resistance, Schott Zerodur microcrystalline glass has been applied in many fields of aerospace:
Satellite optical system: When satellites operate in space, they will experience extreme temperature changes. Due to its extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent thermal stability, Schott Zerodur microcrystalline glass is used in the manufacturing of satellite optical systems, such as camera lenses, primary and secondary mirrors of telescopes, to ensure the stability and accuracy of optical systems under temperature changes.
Thermal protection system of spacecraft: When the spacecraft enters and leaves the atmosphere, it will experience a high-temperature environment. Due to its high temperature resistance, Schott Zerodur microcrystalline glass is used to manufacture thermal protection systems for spacecraft to protect internal equipment from the effects of high temperatures.
Solar panels for spacecraft: Solar panels are important components of spacecraft used to convert solar energy into electricity. Due to its excellent optical performance and thermal stability, Schott Zerodur microcrystalline glass is used to manufacture optical components for solar panels, ensuring efficient operation of solar panels in extreme space environments.
Other optical components of spacecraft: In other optical components of spacecraft, such as star sensors, laser communication systems, etc., Schott Zerodur microcrystalline glass is used as a key component for manufacturing these optical components due to its excellent optical performance and thermal stability.
