New rocket and lunar experiments involving graphene are informing space exploration. Applying graphene to the wheels of the Rashid moon rover will reveal whether this super strong material is also ‘Moon-proof’. Meanwhile, testing graphene-inks in a sounding rocket will test their ability to enable 3D printing in space – which could allow astronauts to create tools and materials they need even when far away from Earth.
The Graphene Flagship's AEROGrAFT spearhead project’s graphene-based smart filters provide cleaner air and offer a more sustainable solution for in-flight air filtration.

Tamara Blanco talks about the possibilities of graphene to enhance composites for aeronautics, and shares her career choices and views about the future.
Graphene Flagship Aeronautics Champion reveals how graphene and related materials have the potential to make aviation cleaner and greener
Boasting light-weight characteristics and supreme thermal properties, graphene-enhanced plane leading edge will save airlines huge sums of fuel costs over the plane’s lifespan.
This recap of last year's best articles will get you up to speed on the most exciting breakthroughs in graphene in the past year.
Graphene Flagship partners Aernnova, Grupo Antolin-Ingenieria and Airbus produced a leading edge for an Airbus A350 horizontal tail plane using graphene.
The Graphene Flagship co-hosted the Graphene Marketplace event, "Graphene: Revolution is coming to Earth… and Space".
In a successful collaboration between the Graphene Flagship and the European Space Agency, experiments testing graphene for two different space-related applications have shown extremely promising results. Based on these results, the Flagship are continuing to develop graphene devices for use in space.
