Pot life to Extraterrestrial life: Bonding applications for “deep Space”

Dr. Malik Thompson, Aerospace Materials Engineer, NASA Marshal Space Flight Center Adhesives & Seals Materials today nASA continues to push the bounds of deep space exploration by developing and manufacturing space systems for interplanetary travel. this requires innovation and extensive testing to expand the limits of materials within the aerospace industry to meet the needs of present and future goals for the agency. every launch vehicle and spacecraft relies heavily on nonmetallic materials such as adhesives and sealants to bolster their functionality while withstanding some of the harshest environments ever encountered. to meet its goals, from establishing a sustained presence on the moon to numerous scientific missions across the solar system, cutting edge approaches have been devised to test these materials for their viability in space applications. this session will include some of the many adhesives and sealing applications used in nASA as well as an overview of some of the technical needs of the agency as we continue to venture where no human has gone before. sponsored by:
