38/2023: Spacecraft Materials with ionic and Covalent bondings
Get ready to put on your lab coats and safety goggles, because we're about to embark on a thrilling adventure into the fascinating world of materials science! As budding with JPL Egineers, you'll be working hand-in-hand with us to tackle some of the biggest challenges facing space exploration today. Imagine building a rover that can withstand the blistering heat and crushing atmospheric pressure of Venus, a planet where the surface temperature can soar up to a scorching 460°C! Or how about designing a spacecraft that can navigate the icy terrain of a frozen planet, or even dive deep into the murky depths of an alien ocean? The possibilities are endless, but the key to unlocking these challenges lies in the science of materials. As materials Engineers of JPL, you'll be delving into the properties of different metals and alloys, exploring their behavior under extreme conditions and finding ways to optimize their performance in space. You'll need to think creatively, dr...
