A Marietta-based aerospace company has developed a notable debris shield. This shield is reportedly the lightest and thinnest of its kind, designed to protect satellites from high-speed projectiles. The company, Atomic-6, is part of a growing trend in metro Atlanta, where several aerospace companies are setting up operations.

The region's manufacturing base is a key factor in this development. Further details about Atomic-6 and the growth of the aerospace industry in metro Atlanta are available from local news sources, including an interview with the company's founder and an industry expert who discusses the region's manufacturing capabilities.
