what happened

Rock West Composites, partnered with DPP Pultrusion, premiered its new STRATOPultrusion product line at the 2026 Small Satellite Conference in Salt Lake City this August, per SpaceNews and a PRWeb release. The line covers plates, sandwich panels, and solar-array substrates for LEO, GEO, and deep-space use, aimed at truss-type structures and other deployables, with low outgassing, low-to-zero CTE, and predesigned parts the company says carry no NRE cost.

why it matters

Predesigned, off-the-shelf space-grade pultruded structural components are a small but real cost and schedule lever for satellite manufacturers building deployable structures, an area Rock West says has lacked ready-made suppliers.
