  Material Selection for Mechanical Structures of Space Borne Payloads

  By Shubham Vrujlal Rupani, Piyush Gopani

  Abstract: Space borne payloads consist of several structures to fulfill its functions in space operation. Among these structures, mechanical structure serves as a backbone of whole payload. Hence mechanical structure needs to have very high rigidity and strength. For space applications, materials to be used in mechanical structures need to be selected very carefully. Every gram of added weight increases few liters of fuel consumption and hence costs extra money for …
