SpaceX goes public today. Reportedly the largest IPO ever. We have a small confession: our atoms got to orbit before the shares did. June 2021. A SpaceX Transporter-2 rideshare. On board: a Spire Global LEMUR-2 satellite powered by lithium-ion batteries with a few things worth noting: → Protected by Forge Nano, Inc.’s Particle ALD technology, applied one atomic layer at a time → Built with 100% domestically sourced electrode materials → As far as we know, the first ALD-enabled battery technology ever sent to space Space is the world’s worst warranty environment. → No repairs. → No replacements. → No mercy. In orbit, battery degradation doesn’t mean a maintenance ticket. It means reduced mission life. That’s why surface engineering matters. Today, our Atomic Armor® platform helps critical materials perform longer, survive harsher environments, and unlock better products, one atomic layer at a time. So while the market values the rocket, we’ll keep working on the materials that make advanced technology tough enough for the job. To everyone celebrating the IPO: congratulations. Genuinely historic. To everyone building what goes on those rockets: let’s talk.
