Protection of Materials and Structures from the Space Environment - Softcover
Buch 15 von 41: Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings
Inhaltsangabe
The effects of various space environment factors like atomic oxygen, vacuum ultraviolet radiation, charging, micrometeoroids, meteoroid showers, etc. on materials and structures in various orbits are discussed. In addition the ways to prevent these effects or reduce them through protection by coatings or modification of affected surfaces are considered in the book. The discussions on development of predictive models of material erosion that will allow the materials engineers and designers of future spacecraft to evaluate materials' behaviour is continued from the past meetings.

Review
"However, any of our readers who develop materials or devices for spacecraft applications, or universities that study materials for space applications, May find some of the papers in this bookto be useful for the development of new materials and/or give guidance in material testing for the space environment as well as in regard to knowing the degradation rates of various materials in the space environment."

From the Back Cover
The goals of the ICPMSE-7 meeting, as in the past years, are to facilitate exchanges between members of the various engineering disciplines involved in development of space materials, including such aspects as environmental hazards of Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and Deep Space, ground-based qualification, and in-flight experiments and lessons learned from operational vehicles.
The book continues to discuss topics started in the earlier publications and adds new data and results.
The proceedings cover a range of inter-disciplinary topics concerning the protection of materials and structures in space and discussing the effects of the aggressive LEO as well as the GEO and Deep Space environments on materials and structures and the ways to predict and reduce these effects in short and long-term space missions.
The book is targeting organizations and individuals involved with space material selction, their reliability and influence of space environmental effects on materials and structures.
