The directorate of science of the European Space Agency has embarked on the definition and implementation of a series of new challenging scientific missions, in which the harsh space environment and demanding instrument performance requirements calls for the use of new materials. Among these missions the BepiColombo mission to Mercury calls for the use of high-temperature resistant materials, while the GAIA astrometry mission, where ultra-high thermo-mechanical stability of the optical bench is of critical importance, leads to the extensive use of Silicon Carbon (SiC) ceramics. A number of pre-developments contracts are currently running to support the development and the characterisation of these and other materials. This paper presents a summary of the activities related to these materials, considered critical to the safe and timely development of these missions.
