This month Rock West Composites announces the expansion of its space-grade STRATO™ product line, which now includes pultruded solid and hollow profiles. Designed in partnership with DPP Pultrusion and with the goal of supporting next-generation, space-grade deployables, STRATOPultrusion has classes for both LEO and GEO or Deep Space applications and includes flightworthy documentation.
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rock West Composites (RWC) announces the addition of STRATOPultrusion products to its space-grade ecommerce line this month. 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. In partnership with DPP Pultrusion, RWC designed these new products to fill a market demand for truss-type and other space deployables.
The STRATO line provides businesses and government agencies with high-quality, space-ready components at dramatically shorter lead times than custom products. 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. No other suppliers currently offer space-grade pultruded components that are predesigned, have no NRE costs, and offer such rapid turnaround times.
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.
"We are excited to partner with DDP on a product that we know will be a game changer for our customers," said Jeremy Senne, Vice President, Space Structures Business Segment. "There hasn't been an off-the-shelf, space-grade pultrusion that can be used for the deployable truss structures used in these types of applications that we're aware of. This product can offer the high performance required while reducing NRE, schedule, and risk in one package."
