Description

While designing satellites, trade-offs are often made between different architectures, designs, materials,...
In most cases, these trade-offs do not consider the environmental performance of the various alternatives.
In the frame of this study, AirbusDS chose to focus on 2 alternative materials being used for optical payload structural parts: SiC and AlSi. The objective was to evaluate the environmental impacts of each material and their manufacturing processes and compare their respective environmental performance.
