Space Applications. The growth of powder metahurgy in space technology has arisen from the difficulty of handling many materials in conventional fusion-metahurgy techniques, the need for controhed porosity, and the requirement of many special and unique properties (60,61). Powder metahurgy is applied in low density components with emphasis on porous tungsten for W—Ag stmctures, beryhium compounds, titanium and... 

Space technology has always demanded materials that can operate at temperatures between those of superaHoys and refractory metals and that have high temperature strength during operation and room temperature ductility for fabrication. The development of dispersion-strengthened and oxide alloy systems has solved part of this problem.

Energy systems in space technology are devices that convert one kind of energy into another to ensure the functioning of automated and piloted satellites, interplanetary probes, and other kinds of spacecraft. Multiple functions of any spacecraft require two distinctly different energy sources propulsion for launch and maneuvers, and electricity supply to power the onboard equipment. 

Propulsion generates kinetic energy to facilitate motion of spacecraft. Although propulsion is provided by various types of devices, the most common propulsion system of modern space technology is a rocket engine, a device that propels a rocket by a force... 

The first experiments with the thermal electric engine were conducted in Russia in 1929 by its inventor, Valentin P. Glushko, who later became a world-famous authority in rocket propulsion. For more than forty years, the United States and Russia have devoted many resources to research and development of various kinds of EREs. First tested in space by the Russians in 1964, these engines have found some limited applications in modern space technology. For more than two decades Russian weather and communication satellites have regularly used electric rocket engines for orbital stabilization. The first spacecraft to employ ERE for main propulsion was the American asteroid exploration probe Deep Space 1, launched in 1998. The performance of... 

Among the more specialized books is the recent Handbook of Pyrotechnics by K.O. Brauer (Ref 152) which covers, its title notwithstanding, chiefly aspects of ordnance engineering as it applies to space technology, unlike the Aerospace Ordnance Handbook (Ref 133) which contains useful information on pyrotechnics which is not restricted to space applications. For civilian pyrotechnics, the Rev. R. Lancaster s book (Ref 145) is current, while the history of pyrotechnics in antiquity was scholarly presented by J. Partington (Ref 130)... 

Space technology development has also provided advanced-performance materials test beds in both communications and structural areas. The value of these programs has been passed on in many cases from space and the military to civilian aircraft. Many of the advanced-performance materials in the new generation of airline transports, such as structural composites, were first developed for spacecraft or advanced military aircraft.

Certain thermoplastics, thermosetting resins and polytetrafluoroethylene have been evaluated as ablative materials.

Nonanitroterphenyl (NONA) [Structure (2.38)] is produced by the condensation of 2 moles of picryl chloride with l,3-dichloro-2,4,6-trinitroben-zene (styphnyl chloride)in the presence of copper dust at 210°C using nitrobenzene as a medium (Ullmann s Condensation) [90]. It has a density of 1.78 g cm and exceptional heat stability, melting at 440-450 °C with decomposition which together with a low volume of split-off gases render it as an interesting explosive for booster explosives in space technology [91].
