Nippon Electric Glass develops Starveil BDX-3 ultra-thin cover glass for wider space-orbit use
  • Nippon Electric Glass developed BDX-3, a Starveil ultra-thin cover glass for space hardware, targeting broader use beyond low Earth orbit.
  • Product design aims to curb radiation-driven discoloration, supporting higher optical transmittance over longer mission exposure.
  • UV shielding improved versus BDX-2; at 100 µm thickness, transmittance at 300 nm drops to 0.1% from 20%.
  • Samples are available for purchase, with commercialization targeted for satellite and other spaceborne equipment programs.
