Morgan supporting Artemis II: Carbon cloth in demanding environments

Morgan Advanced Materials is celebrating the successful Artemis II launch and the critical role played by our carbon cloth technology. 

Developed for use in high-temperature, high-load launch conditions, our material performed as designed in the moments of ignition and liftoff - when extreme heat, pressure, and mechanical loads converge in seconds, leaving no margin for inconsistency. Predictable behaviour in these conditions depends on rigorous engineering, controlled processes, and repeatable quality.

Our carbon cloth material, manufactured at our Fostoria, OH, USA site, is used as an ablative material in the nozzle of the Space Launch System (SLS) Solid Rocket Boosters manufactured by our partner. The Solid Rocket Boosters are the white boosters positioned on each side of the orange core stage of the rocket.

Morgan supports customers who integrate our specialist components into complex systems.

Engineering Excellence, Built into Every Component.

Engineering excellence is not one decision, it is a chain of decisions across design, manufacturing, and quality. At Morgan, we have applied our disciplined materials engineering and robust quality control to produce specialist components designed to meet demanding customer requirements in Aerospace.

Materials Innovation in Aerospace

Our materials are engineered to perform under the extreme thermal, mechanical and environmental demands of space travel. Supporting this historic mission is a fantastic testament to our technical leadership, innovation, and deep-rooted expertise in advanced material science.

"Launch environments set an uncompromising standard. Our role is to engineer materials and manufacturing components with the consistency customers need for demanding systems. Seeing them perform successfully is the ultimate validation of our approach"
