Join Dunmore at Smallsat in Salt Lake City

In the fast-paced world of New Space, precision and reliability aren’t optional—they are mission-critical. A single 10-week material delay or unmanaged component defect can derail launch windows, inflate budgets, and jeopardize an entire mission.

As the satellite industry gathers in Salt Lake City for the annual Small Satellite Conference (SmallSat), Dunmore is excited to connect with satellite OEMs, system integrators, and engineering teams. Whether you are looking for field-proven spacecraft thermal insulation or seeking ways to derisk your upcoming launch schedules, our team is ready to collaborate.

Building spacecraft thermal protection systems (TPS) requires more than just off-the-shelf procurement; it demands strategic material selection, custom processing, and deep supply chain coordination.

Stop by the Dunmore Booth (#2535) during exhibit hours to speak directly with our thermal control and high-performance film experts. Learn how our multi-layer insulation (MLI) films, specialized tapes, and custom solutions are protecting constellations in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and beyond.

Featured Side Event: Panel Presentation

Beyond our exhibit booth, Dunmore is proud to host a high-impact panel session tackling one of the most pressing challenges facing spacecraft manufacturers today: supply chain resilience and inter-reliability.

Navigating the New Space Supply Chain Ecosystem

• Date & Time: Wednesday, August 26th | 9:55 AM – 10:40 AM (45 Minutes)
• Location: Room 250A/B, 2nd Floor, Salt Palace Convention Center

Panel Overview

Procuring individual components may seem straightforward, but assembling a resilient, launch-ready thermal protection system requires a transparent, highly coordinated ecosystem.

Led by Dunmore, this panel pulls back the curtain on the “start-to-finish” journey of spacecraft thermal management—tracking materials from raw film and adhesive synthesis through textile conversion and final flight integration.

Meet the Panelists

• Nik Taritas (Moderator) – Vice President of Business Development, Dunmore
• Ryan R. Faber – IATD USAC Portfolio Director, Industrial Adhesives & Tapes Division, 3M
• Aleks Bogunovic – Chief Executive Officer, Aerothreads
• Garrett Poe – Chief Technology Officer, Blueshift Materials

What You Will Learn

This 45-minute discussion brings together key voices across the entire manufacturing continuum—from raw chemistry innovators to custom fabricators—to explore actionable strategies for mission success:

• The Ecosystem Advantage: Discover why early alignment across film suppliers, adhesive manufacturers, textile converters, and integrators drastically accelerates problem-solving and quality control.
• Transparency in Action: Explore how direct communication channels between upstream material creators and downstream users simplify root-cause analysis when anomalies arise.
• Proactive Risk Mitigation: Learn the value of working with partners who stay engaged throughout the full mission lifecycle—not just through delivery.
• Schedule Certainty & Scalability: Examine proactive material planning, stocking strategies, and forecasting techniques designed to eliminate launch bottlenecks when schedules are non-negotiable.

Whether you’re developing smallsats, CubeSats, or large constellations, this session will equip you with practical insights to design missions around real-world supply chain dynamics.
