Materials technology for large space structures

Abstract

Several of the key material technology needs that were identified for large space structures are outlined. They include lightweight structural materials, materials durability in the space environment, and some special aspects of materials fabrication technology. Examples of current materials research directed toward large space structures are described. Additional research needs and opportunities are noted. A short bibliography is included of selected references that describe large space structural concepts and related technology needs in detail.
