The TTU Space Materials Science and Engineering Team is a research oriented group committed to advancing material technologies for future space missions. The team works on developing high-performance, lightweight, reliable and cost efficient materials capable of withstanding the demanding conditions of space.

Its research covers a wide range of areas such as material synthesis, mechanical characterization, thermal behavior analysis, radiation resistance, composite design and surface engineering. The team aims to deepen the understanding of how materials respond to temperature extremes, vacuum exposure, radiation, mechanical stresses and abrasive planetary environments.

The primary mission of the team is to contribute to the progress of space exploration by designing materials that enhance structural durability, improve mission safety, reduce mass and support sustainable spacecraft and planetary systems. With a scientific approach, rigorous testing and a constant pursuit of innovation, the TTU Space Materials Science and Engineering Team continues to push the boundaries of aerospace materials research.
