NASA Artemis: Rocket Component Transport Cases
Challenge
NASA's Artemis program returns humans to the Moon. They need cases for SLS rocket components, Orion capsule parts, and lunar gateway modules transported between NASA centers and contractors. Cases must: (1) meet NASA-STD-5001 + ASTM E595 outgassing, (2) survive global transport, (3) protect $10M+ space components, (4) integrate with NASA supply chain, (5) be reusable 100+ cycles.
Solution
KeXinMaterials provided space-grade cases with: (1) NASA-STD-5001 + ASTM E595 outgassing compliance, (2) PP copolymer with ESD-safe and vacuum-rated properties, (3) custom foam for SLS propellant valves, Orion heat shield components, lunar gateway avionics, (4) serialized QR + NASA supply chain, (5) 100+ cycle rating. Custom foam for SLS core stage components, Orion capsule parts, xEMU spacesuit components.
Result
300 cases deployed across NASA centers. 18 months zero space component damage. 100% NASA-STD-5001 compliance. NASA standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified space case vendor.
Client Testimonial
NASA's Artemis program requires the highest quality transport for SLS, Orion, and lunar gateway components. KeXinMaterials cases have proven NASA-STD-5001 and ASTM E595 compliance. The 100+ cycle reusability supports our sustainability goals. They're our standard space case. — NASA Artemis Logistics Director
