    Title

    IAF MATERIALS AND STRUCTURES SYMPOSIUM

    Description

    The IAF Materials and Structures Committee addresses materials and structures technologies applicable to space transportation, space exploration and in orbit operation. Three sessions are allocated for the design, verification of qualification of launcher, spacecraft, large orbital structures and in-orbit operating vehicles and robotic systems. It concerns their structures, propellant tanks, propulsive subsystem mechanical components, fluidic and thermal control systems. Six sessions deal with specific technical topics related to the aforementioned different types of applications. Mastering the space structures control, dynamics and micro-dynamics is an important technical field of expertise ensuring the proper functioning of space transportation systems and in-orbit structures and robotic systems. The structures require for high reliability and performance a thorough selection, characterization and qualification of materials, considering the space environmental conditions covering a temperature range from cryogenic conditions up to extreme high temperatures during re-entry in the atmosphere. Protection systems are mandatory especially for in-orbit operating structures, vehicles, space stations and robotic systems. The application of additive manufacturing technologies allow to design and produce multifunctional structures. New smart materials, adaptive structures and nanotechnologies pave the way for new advanced designs of e.g. Sensors and actuators. Reduction of production cost are nowadays playing a very important role. A specific session has been set-up which is addressing the manufacturing and industrialization for Launch Vehicle and Space Vehicle Structures and components.
