Space Environmental Effects on Additively Manufactured Materials
Abstract
Space simulations including thermal vacuum, atomic oxygen, and ultraviolet radiation were performed to study the durability of various additively manufactured materials. In addition to ground simulations, additively manufactured materials were selected for a one-year flight on the Materials on International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) Flight Facility. The space environment is composed of atomic oxygen, ultraviolet radiation, protons, electrons, meteoroid/space debris impacts, thermal cycling, and hard vacuum. An improved UV sensor is also discussed.
