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.

The annual thermosets-focused event included 30 sponsorships and/or exhibits, nearly 200 registrations, 19 technical presentations, five student posters, two keynote addresses and an executive roundtable.
The composites-intensive helicopter is to make the first attempt at powered, controlled flight of an aircraft on another planet, with the goal of hovering 3 meters above the Martian surface.
Irrespective of what launch vehicles provide transport for colonization efforts to the Moon or Mars, advanced composites are sure to play an enabling role.
Lightweight composite design for BOLE boosters enable increased performance for NASA’s future missions to the moon and 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 AeroVironment team played a key role in developing the helicopter’s carbon fiber airframe and major subsystems.
Upgraded composite spacecraft has been delivered to NASA for final preparations for the 2026 launch that, unlike the Artemis I mission, will be crewed.
Off-world construction is taken to a new level with NASA’s MMPACT project, which will test lunar soil simulant with various processing and printing technologies to determine 3D printing feasibility in space.
From launch to touchdown, composites performed in flight and stuck the landing!
HLS to act as final mode of transportation to take astronauts to the lunar surface for the Artemis program, with potential future travel to Mars and other destinations.
