Research Institute of Cosmic and Aviation Materials (Russia)
The first materials of the institute were developed during the collapse of the USSR. At that time, the entire production of materials for screen-vacuum thermal insulation of spacecraft was concentrated in Latvia (Riga) at SKB “Vacuum Coatings” (development) and “Sidrab” (production). After Latvia gained independence, the production of these materials was discontinued and the Russian space industry was left without a number of heat-shielding and heat-insulating materials.
