Degradation of Material Properties in the Space Environment

Kohji Ito

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

At the development of the space apparatus, successful design requires due consideration of space environmental effects on the materials used.Large space system materials, especially those in geosynchronous earth orbit, will be subjected to vacuum, ultraviolet radiation and charged particle radiation which will influence the performance and functional lifetime of the systems.This paper describes the influence of the space environment on the performance and lifetime of the structural materials for system.
