【 摘 要 】

Technology Product Capability: The CTE (Composite Technology for Exploration) project will develop and demonstrate critical composites technologies with a focus on weight-saving, performance-enhancing bonded joint technology for Space Launch System (SLS)-scale composite hardware to support future NASA exploration missions - Improve the analytical capabilities required to predict failure modes in composite structures; - and, Support SLS payload adapters and fittings by maturing composite bonded joint technology and analytical tools to enable risk reduction. Exploration & Science Impact: Lighter weight structures; Improved material predictive capabilities; Improved bonded joint failure load and mode predictions to help reduce knockdown factors; and improve predictability and reliability; Increase confidence of all bonded joint composite structures; Reduce reliance on expensive testing.
