SmartIR

What an incredible experience showcasing SmartIR technologies at the UK Space Conference in Manchester! It was truly rewarding to see so many companies excited about our Space & Defence solutions and their real-world applications. The level of engagement and curiosity around our tech was inspiring. We were also thrilled to welcome some special visitors to our stand, including Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester, and astronaut Tim Peake! And our CEO Margherita Sepioni presented at the panel “Graphene and New Economic Models” and she explained her journey through graphene commercialisation. Margherita shared her inspiring journey in graphene commercialisation a field with game-changing potential. She highlighted how lightweight and low-power solutions are not just advantages but necessities for driving innovation in the space sector. From lab breakthroughs to real-world impact, it’s clear: materials like graphene are shaping the future of space exploration. A huge thank you to Alan Cross and NWSC for the opportunity to represent the Northwest, and to the UK Space Conference team for organising such a brilliant event. And of course: massive congratulations to the SmartIR team for making it all happen. One step closer to market. #SmartIR #UKSpaceConference #Innovation #SpaceTech #Defence #Manchester #NorthwestInnovation #TimPeake #AndyBurnham #SpaceToMarket Margherita Sepioni;Coskun Kocabas; John Patterson CB FIET; Laurent Bernard ;Pietro Steiner, PhD; Ciaran Mullan; James Greer; Raihan Choudhury; @aimee; Ryan Teare Quinn;

🚀 Watch this – VER is here! At SmartIR, we’re developing Variable Emissivity Radiators (VER) for game-changing space and defence applications. We have showcased VER at UK Space Conference 2025 unlocking a new era of smart thermal management. #SmartIR #VER #UKSC2025 #Innovation #Space #Defence #Graphene

🚀 Looking forward to attending the UK Space Conference 2025 tomorrow and Thursday in Manchester! As a proud Manchester spin-out, we at SmartIR are excited to showcase our technology and achievements at this year’s event. We’re thrilled to be exhibiting alongside the North West Space Cluster and can’t wait to connect with partners, collaborators, investors and future customers. 👉 Come and meet us at Stand NWSC06 – see you there! #UKSC2025 #InnovationSpace #UKSpaceConference2025 #SmartIR #SpaceTech #UniversityofManchester #SpaceCluster #UKSpace #GEIC

🎉 Today a major milestone achieved! 🎉 After an incredible 2-year journey with Defence and Security Accelerator (DASA), we’re proud to have completed this exciting project by hosting a Demonstration Day at the BattleLab in Dorset. The demonstration was a success — we showcased how the SmartIR technology could enhance survivability on both land and maritime platforms. This wouldn’t have been possible without the collaboration and support of so many fantastic partners. 🙏 A heartfelt thank you to: DASA, for funding and supporting us throughout this journey. Dstl and all the guests who joined us, asked thought-provoking questions, and shared valuable insights on potential Defence applications. BattleLab, for hosting and facilitating such a great event. And of course, the incredible SmartIR team — especially Ciaran Mullan, who led the project with vision and dedication, along with Coskun Kocabas, Pietro Steiner, PhD, John Patterson CB FIET and the rest of the team who made this possible. 🚀 We’re excited to continue the dialogue and explore collaboration opportunities to advance and deploy SmartIR technology across Defence applications. Together we can push the boundaries of what’s possible! #Cloaking #Survivability #DASA #DSTL #Graphene #Innovation #SmartIR #DefenceTech #BattleLab #EmergingTech Ciaran Mullan, Pietro Steiner, PhD, Coskun Kocabas, Laurent Bernard, James Greer, Ryan Teare Quinn, Aimee Duffy, Raihan Choudhury, Dan Thomas, Daniel Melendrez, John Patterson CB FIET, Paul Kahn

🚀 SmartIR’s Second Space Mission Coming Soon!🌍✨ After the success of our Mission 2.0, which continues to deliver crucial data and shape the next generation of SmartIR technology, we’re thrilled to announce the imminent launch of our second satellite – Mission 2.1! This new iteration comes with enhanced radiator manufacturing, improved coatings, and more data capabilities. We’re eager to see how it performs in orbit! Stay tuned for updates! 🚀🔬 #SmartIR #SpaceInnovation #NewFrontiers #ThermalControlSystem #SpaceX Margherita Sepioni, Pietro Steiner, PhD Ciaran Mullan, Ryan Teare Quinn, Laurent Bernard, Raihan Choudhury, James Greer, Aimee Duffy, Amy Hearst, John Patterson CB FIET, Coskun Kocabas, Paul Kahn, Dan Thomas, Shruti Iyengar, University of Manchester Innovation Factory, Graphene - The University of Manchester , Hydra Space Systems, Alba Orbital, AMSAT-EA

🚀 We Made It to Space! 🌌 We are thrilled to announce that the 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐈𝐑 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐.𝟎 satellite and payload have successfully reached space and are in great condition, continuously transmitting invaluable data back to Earth! 📡✨ Space is one of the harshest environments imaginable—extreme temperatures, intense radiation, and the relentless vacuum push every component to its limits. Yet, the 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐈𝐑 payload is proving its resilience, maintaining daily communication with Earth. A huge thank you to Hydra Space Systems, Alba Orbital, and AMSAT-EA for their support! Over the next several weeks, the data we collect will be crucial in evaluating how our smart radiator performs under these extreme conditions, providing critical insights to advance the next generation of our 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐈𝐑 space technology. A few years ago, reaching space was just an ambitious goal. Today, through innovation, collaboration, and dedication, we are pushing boundaries and laying the foundation for new space applications that will transform our daily lives. Onward and upward! 🚀💫 #SpaceTech #Innovation #SmartIR #SatelliteEngineering #BeyondEarth #DataDrivenFuture #GrapheneInSpace Margherita Sepioni Pietro Steiner, PhD Ciaran Mullan, Ryan Teare Quinn, Laurent Bernard Raihan Choudhury, James Greer, Aimee Duffy , Amy Hearst, John Patterson CB FIET, Coskun Kocabas, Paul Kahn, Dan Thomas, Shruti Iyengar, Daniel Melendrez, Graphene - The University of Manchester
