Abstract:

Advanced composite materials have become the important materials in space remote sensor with their excellent performance. There are plenty of successful application examples for various kinds of composite materials, such as polymer matrix composite, metal matrix composite, ceramics matrix composite, carbon/carbon composite, etc. The upgrade of materials and process have a positive impact on improving performance and function of space remote sensor. However, at present, the engineering application is still at a low level of replacing traditional materials to meet mission requirements. Performances of materials commonly used are compared and evaluated for the special requirements of space remote sensor. Application of composite materials in the main components is introduced. Composite materials and process suitable for space remote sensor are summarized. Furthermore, the key problems of engineering application are discussed. Finally, demands of developing space remote sensor system for composite materials are forecast.

Key words: space remote sensor, material system, composites, engineering application, forming technology
