The market volume of coatings in terms of monitory value- $ 100 million / year

According to ROSCOSMOS in 2011 the growth rate of the production of space technology and, accordingly, the temperature-control coatings amounted to 10-15 % a year (news of cosmonautics.-2012.-№3.-p.10-15).

The market capacity of thermal control systems is at least $ 100 million a year

Exit strategy and a return on investment

-Start date of the sale of licenses: a 2.5-3 years after the investment.- Payback period: 3.5 years after receiving them.-The expected return on investments of the investor at the outlet (4 years) is not less than 130%.

Return on investment will be carried out through the sale of non-exclusive licenses
