Vladimir Koshlakov, Managing Director of the Keldysh Center (developer of the material involved with Roscosmos) said in an interview that self-healing material tests aboard the International Space Station (ISS) will be conducted in two phases. TASS.
“We plan to divide this experiment (for testing the material – TASS note) into two parts. The first part will be simple, quick and descriptive to show that the material works, and the second part will be a more complete experiment, including the creation of a custom design that can be used, among other things, in Russian design. Orbital Station,” said Koshlakov.
According to the Managing Director of the Center named after MV Keldysh, Yu. The preparatory work for the experiment is carried out jointly with the Cosmonaut Training Center named after A. Gagarin. The first part of the experiment is planned to be carried out with the participation of a representative from Belarus, who will go to the ISS, and the second part with Russian cosmonauts.
In August 2020, Koshlakov told TASS about the development of a nanomaterial for spacecraft that can recover from damage, including damage from micrometeorites. The basis of such a material is a non-Newtonian fluid, the viscosity of which depends on the strain rate.
