Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the space propulsion market. Spacecraft propulsion is any method used to accelerate spacecraft and artificial satellites. In-space propulsion exclusively deals with propulsion systems used in the vacuum of space and should not be confused with space launch or atmospheric entry.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the space mining market. Space mining the activities relating to extracting minerals and metals from asteroids, comets or other heavenly bodies in space. Space mining can replenish the depleted minerals and metals on earth.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the soundproof curtains market. Soundproof curtains work just like the clothes in the closet in the example. They don't actually quiet the volume of the sound source, but they make the sound die out much more quickly within the room. This makes the room more pleasing from a sound standpoint.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the sonar system market. A system using transmitted and reflected underwater sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects or measure the distance to the floor of a body of water.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the solvents market. A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the soil monitoring market. Soil monitoring is very important for sustaining soil quality. It involves analyzing the soil through soil tests and field obser-vations, and seeing how the soil changes after intervention. Once an intervention plan is implemented, it is necessary to monitor the change in the soil by measuring indicators. This requires seasonal/yearly sampling of soil and analyzing the parameters.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart coatings market. Smart coatings are special films with predefined properties that make them sense and respond to environmental and other external stimuli. The coatings' self-healing and self-repair properties make them suitable for corrosion protection, material protection and other surface improvement applications.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the smart clothing market. Smart clothing is the kind of apparel that has implemented electronic parts, in particular, microcomputers and sensors. It's worn as ordinary clothing, providing additional value to the user by virtue of innovative technologies.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the ultrafiltration market. Ultrafiltration is a variety of membrane filtration in which forces like pressure or concentration gradients lead to a separation through a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained in the so-called retentate, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane in the permeate.

Establishments described in this report are primarily participating in the triacetin market. Triacetin, is the organic compound with the formula C 3H 5 3. It is classified as a triglyceride, i.e., the triester of glycerol. It is a colorless, viscous, and odorless liquid with a high boiling point and a low melting point.
