Publisher's Synopsis
Carbon nanotube materials promise to be the basis for a variety of emerging technologies with aerospace applications. Potential applications to human space flight include spacecraft shielding, hydrogen storage, structures and fixtures and nano-electronics. Appropriate risk analysis on the properties of nanotube materials is essential for future mission safety. Along with other environmental hazards, materials used in space flight encounter a hostile radiation environment for all mission profiles, from low earth orbit to interplanetary space.Wilkins, Richard and Armendariz, Lupita (Technical Monitor)Johnson Space CenterCARBON NANOTUBES; SPACECRAFT SHIELDING; FIXTURES; AEROSPACE ENGINEERING; RADIATION DOSAGE; LOW EARTH ORBITS; RISK; SAFETY; HYDROGEN; INTERPLANETARY SPACE...
