Ageing is a part of life. Materials age faster in space, just like astronauts do. These samples outside the International Space Station are facing the harsh environment beyond Earth to help us develop more durable materials – both for our planet and space exploration👉https://lnkd.in/eD4kiyhe Credits: ESA/NASA

Did I ever mention that I worked on some materials that are now on the ISS? 😁 👇 These advanced materials are a new generation of innovative carbon fibre-reinforced composites, developed by the Bristol Composites Institute at the University of Bristol with support from the National Composites Centre (NCC). The materials are engineered to withstand the harshest #space conditions, and they are placed on the Bartolomeo platform, located on the front of the ISS where they will orbit #Earth up to 9,000 times over the next 12 to 18 months at speeds of 17,000 mph. 🌌 This research could pave the way to build future space stations, spacecraft for interplanetary travel, or a new ISS. 🌍🛰️ To learn more about this important mission, check out the press release and blog for in-depth project insights: 📰 Press release: https://lnkd.in/eiDva2WC 💻 Blog: https://lnkd.in/eruDUnzE

Artemis like Apollo before has become a well conceived and an overall technology program with multiple development fronts. Independent studies for various mission phases (cargo vs human launch capabilities, rendezvous/docking, space fueling, Moon/Mars landing, etc. require several types of launch systems, spacecraft, capsules and planetary orbiting/landing systems, a wide array of technology infrastructure to build upon prior missions, etc.) have always helped in high-level technical decisions that will prove to be key 30-50 yrs down the road for a continued human presence both on the Moon and Mars surfaces along with their orbiting outposts in the presence of existing and future space environments. Take a look at the growing partnerships that is producing the space hardware that will be needed from the partner space agencies and countries and the aerospace companies that ultimately design, build and test the various systems or program elements. Humanity at its best with our youth at the forefront under the guidance of senior technical leads, SMEs, and CogEs to make sure designs are ultimately sound and that lessons learned are being incorporated in the form of EOs or forward work addressing known technical debt that must be incorporated in the final human rated product. Space is unforgiving so consider this a very early stage of a very long-term endeavor.

Could this egg-shaped structure be what the future home of Indian astronauts in space looks like? The Hab-1 - short for Habitat-1 – is Indian space agency Isro's first-ever "analog mission" which means simulation of space conditions to prepare astronauts for real space missions. It was recently tested for three weeks in the high Himalayan mountains of Ladakh. Space architect Aastha Kacha-Jhala, from Gujarat-based firm Aaka, told the BBC that these simulations help identify and address issues astronauts and equipment might face before space missions. https://lnkd.in/e_JRyBY9 #india #space #nasa
