ASTM E 1997 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for the Selection of Spacecraft Materials
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Dec 1, 2007
Scope:
The purpose of this practice is to aid engineers, designers,
quality and reliability control engineers, materials specialists,
and systems designers in the selection and control of materials and
processes for spacecraft, external portion of manned systems, or
man-tended systems. Spacecraft systems are very different from most
other applications. Space environments are very different from
terrestrial environments and can dramatically alter the performance
and survivability of many materials. Reliability, long life, and
inability to repair defective systems (or high cost and difficultly
of repairs for manned applications) are characteristic of space
applications. This practice also is intended to identify materials
processes or applications that may result in degraded or
unsatisfactory performance of systems, subsystems, or components.
Examples of successful and unsuccessful materials selections and
uses are given in the appendices.
