Science Utah: Back to the Moon
Thursday, April 9
6:00 pm to 8:30 pm
Clark Planetarium
See how ISS research supports Artemis and future Moon missions in Moonrise and a live Science Utah lecture.
Materials for Living and Working in Space: From the ISS to the Moon
Space exploration places extraordinary demands on materials. Spacecraft, habitats, and propulsion systems must survive extreme temperatures, radiation, micrometeoroid impacts, and the vacuum of space.
This lecture introduces how materials scientists design metals and structures that allow humans and machines to operate in these harsh environments. Using examples from the International Space Station, lunar exploration technologies, and current NASA collaborations, the talk will show how advances in materials science are enabling future missions to the Moon and beyond.
The presentation will also include insights from working with NASA researchers and interactions with astronauts, offering a glimpse into how engineering, science, and exploration come together in modern space missions.
