MELENDEZ VALDES SPACE PROYECT (MVSP) WORKSHOP: Finding the most appropriate material to design a spacecraft.
Imagine that you are a group of several engineers and you have a great challenge. Our challeger is to desing a space ship that we will be sent into space. In order to do so we must find the most appropiate materials. Students have to use a variety of strategies to be able to experimentally investigate several different materials so as to find the most appropiate one. Those and, if we want to send a ship into space we have to choose materials must withstand extreme conditions such as: - Materials that conduct the heat to avoid damage when the temperature increases or decreases. - Theres materials must be concuctors of electriciyto to withstand any spark and not damage electronic circuits. - These materials must be also impact resistant as they can colllide with space debris or meteorites. - Materials cannot be magnetic so taht their own circuitos to no interact with radiation. - In additio...
