Researchers at the NASA Glenn Research Center have been developing durable, high-temperature ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) with silicon carbide (SiC) matrices and SiC or carbon fibers for use in advanced reusable launch vehicle propulsion and airframe applications in the Next Generation Launch Technology (NGLT) Program. These CMCs weigh less and are more durable than competing metallic alloys, and they are tougher than silicon-based monolithic ceramics. Because of their high specific strength and durability at high temperatures, CMCs such as C/SiC (carbon- fiber-reinforced silicon carbide) and SiC/SiC (silicon-carbide-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide) may increase vehicle performance and safety significantly and reduce the cost of transporting payloads to orbit.
