"Course Contents In this course a number of space missions (for example Vikings, Opportunity, Perseverance, ISS, Hubble telescope, James\nWebb telescope, lightsail-2, Neowise, solar cruiser) will be presented as a carrier for material selection analysis.\nCurrent material choice will be analysed and material designing principles will be explained. The concept of reverse material\nengineering for metals, polymers and inorganic materials will be demonstrated in a series of lectures. In sessions of \"case study\",\nThe students will be trained to translate desired properties into material structures and microstructures and to think about suitable\nmaterial production processes to realize these properties.\nStudents are encouraged to propose alternative materials and reason for their choices. The structure of the lectures will be\ntailored to maximize the student involvement. Students are expected to participate at least 12/14 lectures to have permission to\nthe final exam.\nThe course contains the following topics:\nweek 1: Mars exploration history from Missions to Materials; Material degradation in space - thermal cycling and vacuum\nweek 2: Material degradation in space - meteoroids and orbital debris; case study\nweek 3: Material degradation in space - UV, AO; Material degradation in space - space radiation\nweek 4: Materials testing for space applications (ESA guest speaker); case study\nweek 5: Materials for extreme missions (ESA guest speaker); Space mission energy supply and in-situ resource utilization;\nweek 6: Materials challenge in future space age (ESA guest speaker); case study/oral presentation\nweek 7: Oral presentations\nweek 8: Study period (Q and A)\nweek 9: exam week\nStudy Goals By the end of the course, you should be able to:\n°LO1: Identify space environmental conditions and common materials used for space.\n°LO2: Explain material degradation mechanisms in materials under space conditions such as radiation, vacuum, thermal\nfluctuation etc.\n°LO3: Evaluate or analyse material selection in space-related situations through reverse materials engineering" . .
