Composite Spacecraft Structures

Composite Spacecraft Structures is a type of spacecraft structure that, as distinguished from conventional metallic structures, is constructed primarily from engineered composite materials combining high-specific-strength or high-specific-stiffness reinforcement fibers with a polymeric or ceramic matrix to achieve superior strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios for spaceflight applications.
