| Description | Composites have been increasingly used in the construction of spacecraft. However, unlike metals, composites must be used with particular discretion in space applications because of their outgassing properties. For example, the outgas materials may cause serious contamination problems and affect the performance of delicate instruments. This paper presents an overview of the testing procedure and acceptance criteria for outgassing selection of spacecraft materials. Since composites can contain and absorb moisture which will outgas in space as water vapor, the test results of moisture absorption and desorption of a composite material are discussed also. |
