Abstract
In aerospace industry and satellite systems, the
selection of the materials is one of the important parts for
designing and space components manufacturing. These
materials are important for many space industries such as the
vehicle and satellite structures/ configuration, space systems,
instruments, sensors and communication subsystems, etc.
Many principle factors required for these materials to satisfy
the needed missions such as light weight, withstanding and
resistance and repulse to the ionizing radiation, smart
features, self-healing and other multifunctional capabilities,
and exceptional thermal stability, etc. The presented paper
gives a short review on the classifications and characteristics
of the materials used in space missions and technology.
Description of the classification of these materials is presented
according to the properties and costs. In addition, some of
space environmental effects on these materials are elaborated.
