Methods are outlined that have the potential of predicting the performance of untried, newly developed materials so these may be used to construct vehicles suitable for long-duration missions in known but variable space environments. One of the methods uses the concept of accelerated aging by intensifying space environmment components and the limitations of this method are described. A second more innovative method is based on the concept like materials perform in a similar manner and uses the real-time performance of proven materials to predict the performance of a new material containing like functional groups.
