Advanced Structures
Ultra-Stiff, Optically-Defined, and Proven
Tendeg’s precision surface structures are engineered for the most demanding applications and missions requiring low surface error, thermal stability, and optical alignment. These platforms push the boundaries of stowage efficiency and deployed fidelity.
Proven Under Pressure
Our precision 10m optical occulter, featured on the cover of National Geographic in 2023, demonstrates our ability to scale ultra-stiff membrane systems with real-world performance and durability.
