Abstract
This chapter aims to introduce some of the specific bonding-related issues that face those responsible for bonding operations in space applications. We have to consider two cases: structures for launchers and structures for satellite where the environment in terms of load is different. In the case of launchers, extremely high mechanical loads over a short time occur, and for satellites, there is the gravity magnified by about 20, followed by exposure to extremely high temperatures over a very long period, with the observation and telecom satellites under zero gravity.
To design for such broad specifications and to select materials, such as adhesives, it is just the first in a series of challenges.
To perform tests on Earth reproducing space-like environments while subject to terrestrial gravity is the second and not the least significant.
This chapter is intended to be an introduction to the issues which have to be considered together in the case of spatial bonding from the bottom, on Earth, upward, to space.
