Results from Mechanical Testing of Silicon Carbide for Space Applications: Non-Destructive Evalution Samples and MISSE-6 Experiment Samples
Abstract
The Aerospace Corporation has developed a space qualification method for silicon carbide optical systems that covers material verification through system development. Recent laboratory results for testing of materials properties of silicon carbide are described. These include mechanical testing and non-destructive techniques to measure elastic properties. Results of tests on samples that were part of the MISSE-6 flight experiment are included.
