Scientific and Practical Centre for Materials Research offers consumers high-effective electromagnetic protection systems for onboard instruments of rocket and spacecraft with improved performance characteristics under a manufacturing agreement and the technology for their production inder a commercial agreement with technical assistance and/or a licensing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.

The Scientific and Practical Centre for Materials Research has developed a technology and materials that provide electromagnetic shielding and electromagnetic compatibility for onboard rocket and spacecraft units.

The development's application area is protection of electronic components, electronic and information equipment, and biological objects from external electromagnetic influences.

As part of the BepiColombo international project to explore the planet Mercury, electromagnetic shields, as shown in Figure (a), were formed using the developed technology on standard scanning spectrometer unit housings. The use of new materials and technology completely resolved the electromagnetic compatibility issue: interference in the frequency range from 10 Hz to 10 MHz was completely eliminated, thereby ensuring "magnetically clean" operating conditions for the spacecraft.
The Earth's external magnetic field causes random broadband vibrations in the rocket body. These vibrations negatively impact the operation of sensitive sensors, gyroscopes, angular rate sensors, and other navigation instruments. The application of the developed technology has significantly improved the performance of the navigation equipment shown in Figure (b).

Information on highly effective electromagnetic protection systems for onboard instruments of rocket and spacecraft with improved performance characteristics is published in the Catalog "Advanced Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus." 2024, pp. 56-59.

The task of protecting electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference is extremely pressing, and work is also underway in Canada, Switzerland, China, and India.

The developed electromagnetic shielding technology allows:
- to form electromagnetic shielding on electronic equipment housings, vary the thickness over a wide range, ensure a highly technologically advanced process, and ensure rigid fixation relative to the component housing;
- to ensure high shielding efficiency in the frequency range from 10 to 107 Hz;
– coordinate requirements for weight and size parameters, which is impossible using traditional screen manufacturing technology from solid materials.

Scientific and technical standards are world-class.
