The advantages of building aircraft structures with composites, compared to metal, include light weight, high specific strength, superior fatigue properties, damage tolerance and the absence of corrosion.
Composites have been used in space since our early steps into the cosmos. Often turned to for their light weight and high strength, these materials have a history of use in spaceflight in such applications as payload fairings, satellite structures and heat shields.

Upgraded composite spacecraft has been delivered to NASA for final preparations for the 2026 launch that, unlike the Artemis I mission, will be crewed.
The five-year project employs computational modeling techniques to build composite panels that are three times stiffer and stronger than current carbon fiber to enable manned missions to Mars.
Since 2019 the space sector has been on a rapid upward trajectory. This year’s Space Symposium delivered that same optimism, celebrating the community’s continued proliferation, even as political and financial uncertainty raise new questions.
The rover’s successful landing on Feb. 18 begins a two-year science investigation of Mars’ Jezero Crater for ancient microbial life.
Ingenuity’s two 4-foot-wide carbon fiber and foam core rotor blades successfully interacted with Mars’ gravity and atmosphere, logging a total of 39.1 seconds of flight.
Engineering students welcomed U.S. Space Command official Thomas A. Lockhart in June to demonstrate their role at WSU’s MARS in conducting real-world materials and additive manufacturing projects.
NASA plans to send the Mars Helicopter as a technology demonstrator along with the Mars 2020 rover which is planned for launch in July 2020.
The Utah-based university’s recently upgraded MARS Center installed an Impossible Objects CBAM printer to engage in projects with DOD and DOE potential.
Advanced Composites Training helps train NASA engineers in the use of composite materials for construction of the Mars 2020 rover.
In addition to fifty years in the composites industry, the company celebrates its growth trajectory in BMC thermoset composites.
