Abstract

The selection of advanced materials for space missions presents a critical challenge due to the extreme environmental conditions encountered in space, including intense radiation exposure, wide temperature fluctuations, and micrometeoroid impacts. This study examines the durability, resource limitations, and optimal selection criteria for materials used in spacecraft structures and components. It evaluates advanced composites, high-performance metal alloys, and nanomaterials that enhance mechanical strength, thermal stability, and radiation resistance while minimizing mass and cost. Furthermore, the paper explores the role of sustainability and in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) in future mission planning. The findings contribute to the development of more resilient and efficient spacecraft, ensuring long-term operational success in deep-space exploration.
