Space Structures

Source

The use of fibrous composites for space structures offers considerable potential because of the high premium placed on weight saving. Space applications which are discussed in this chapter include a missile interstage adapter, pressure vessels, a truss supporting structure, a dish antenna, and a re-entry vehicle. Both epoxy matrix and aluminum matrix materials have been used for these applications and are included in the discussion.
