How Space & Bean’s Shielding Technology Protects Small Satellites
Apr 25, 2025

Space & Bean was founded to address the risks posed by space radiation to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components used in small satellites, developing high-performance composite shielding materials and protection technologies. Its core product, SCUTUM R, goes beyond material supply to offer a comprehensive solution that includes radiation impact analysis, customized shielding design, and lightweight technology. By leveraging Ansys simulation software, the company optimizes designs and reduces development time and costs, with plans to expand into thermal analysis and more. Through partnerships with companies in Japan and the U.S., Space & Bean is building global credibility. The company is also extending its advanced protection technologies beyond the space industry into automotive, defense, semiconductor, and medical sectors.
