San Diego, CA – Rock West Composites (RWC) is premiering its recently launched space-grade STRATOPultrusion™ product line at the 2026 Small Satellite Conference this August in Salt Lake City, Utah. Conference attendees can visit RWC’s booth #2219 to see samples of this product that was designed in partnership with DPP Pultrusion with the goal of supporting next-generation, space-grade deployables.

“We are pleased to have samples of STRATOPultrusion ready for Small Sat this year and look forward to showing it off to our customers,” said Jeremy Senne, Vice President, Space Structures Business Segment. “There is market demand is for this new product that can compress schedules and lower program risk for challenging applications.”

STRATO™ products currently include plates, sandwich panels, and solar array substrates for both Lower Earth Orbit (LEO) applications and Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (GEO) and Deep Space use. The STRATO line provides businesses and government agencies with high-quality, space-ready components at dramatically shorter lead times than custom products. The new STRATOPultrusion rods and tubes will have four-to-eight-week lead times. Orders can be placed easily online at RWC’s website. While the new products fill out an already robust product offering, more pultruded products are in the development pipeline.

STRATOPultrusion meets key requirements for space, with properties that include low outgassing, low to zero CTE, high modulus materials, low creep behavior, and a wide operational temperature range. Each order includes a certificate package with dimensional inspection, material certificates, traceability, and a certificate of conformance. All products are serialized and traceable. Additional options for some products include full traveler verification, resin content testing, short beam shear testing, and ASTM Test specimen coupons.
