AI MATERIALS DISCOVERY AND DESIGN FOR SPACE
Discover the
materials space
needs next.
From mission requirements to new chemistries, engineered structures and manufacturable materials, starting with thermal materials for space.
01 / THE AMBITION
What could your mission do with a better material?
FUTURE MISSION POSSIBILITIES
Orbital data centers
Move heat from dense compute to lightweight radiator structures.
VLEO Earth observation
Surfaces that resist atomic oxygen and limit drag—for imaging closer to Earth.
Lunar fission power
Heat-rejection materials for reliable power through the lunar night.
Nuclear-electric exploration
Reject more waste heat with less radiator mass for the journey to Mars and beyond.
02 / THE KESTO ENGINE
From chemistry
to mission performance.
Our approach brings together physics, AI and experimental learning to connect material design with performance under space conditions.
Design the
chemistry.
COMPOSITION · MOLECULE · SEQUENCE
Shape the
material.
STRUCTURE · ASSEMBLY · PROCESS
Connect it to
the mission.
FORMULATION · INTERFACES · LAYERS
Atomic & molecular design · Microstructure · Material systems
Built to learn
from what gets made.
Connecting material designs, manufacturing and measured performance—so each experiment can inform a better next design.

03 / THERMAL MATERIALS
Starting with heat.
Building towards more.
THERMAL MATERIALS FOR SPACE
Coatings, interfaces and radiator materials for lighter thermal systems and performance that lasts.
Kesto builds on the materials discovery and design methods first applied in Flectin —bringing that approach to scale.
A material’s evolution.
Follow a thermal material from mission requirements to the next design.
