The pursuit of long-term space exploration will yield new technical materials challenges in spacecraft and propulsion that will require innovative solutions. The Advanced Materials for Exploration (AME) activity in Marshall Space Flight Centers (MSFC) Exploration Science and Technology Directorate coordinated activities from 2001 to 2006 to support in-space propulsion technologies for future missions. Working together, materials scientists and mission planners identified material shortfalls that are limiting the performance of long-term missions. Selected materials must operate beyond the thresholds of todays materials capabilities. In the harsh environment of space, materials must retain their properties or adjust in a desired way to optimize performance. These materials must have reduced mass, increased strength, and an increased temperature operating range. Leveraging a history of materials development and characterization for high-temperature furnaces, materials solidification processes, analysis and effects, and microstructural investigation of materials behavior, MSFC aligned its materials research program to address the specific space propulsion needs identified by NASAs in-space program offices.
