Materials in space: how materials science is pushing the boundaries in space engineering

Barrie Dunn

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

The materials and processes associated with the space industries are highly demanding and a continuous challenge to the engineers involved in reducing the risk of failure. This feature article overviews the various space, launcher, and ground segments and reviews the steps necessary to 'approve' materials for use in the space environment.
