Scientific paper
This booklet is addressed to the users of the Materials and Processes Laboratories of the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC). The revised edition updates the July 1988 edition featuring the enhancement of existing laboratories and the establishment of a ceramics laboratory. Information on three ESTEC laboratories is presented as well as a look into the future. The three laboratories are the Environmental Effects Laboratory, the Metallic Materials Laboratory, and the Non-metallic Laboratory. The booklet reports on the effects of the space environment on radiation effects (UV and particles), outgassing and contamination, charging-up and discharges, particulate contaminants, atomic oxygen and debris/impacts. Applications of metallic materials to space hardware are covered in the areas of mechanical properties, corrosion/stress corrosion, fracture testing and interpretation, metallurgical processes and failure analysis. Particular applications of non metallic materials to space hardware that are covered are advanced and reinforced polymers, advanced ceramics, thermal properties, manned ambiance, polymer processing, non-destructive tests (NDT), and failure analysis. Future emphasis will be on the measurement of thermo-optical properties for the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and other infrared telescopes, support of the Columbus program, Hermes related problems such as 'warm' composites and 'hot' reinforced ceramics for thermal insulation, materials for extravehicular activity (EVA), and NDT.
