CELSIUS

Paragon and Thin Red Line have developed the Cryogenic Encapsulating Launch Shroud and Insulated Upper Stage (CELSIUS) system, providing high performance, windswept tolerant MLI with integrated MMOD protection. CELSIUS enables cryogenic upper stage operation for extended durations in orbital and transplanetary missions, extending manned and unmanned exploration of the solar system.
