Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back The equipment for research of self-spreading high-temperature synthesis processes on Russian segment of ISS S.G. Vadchenko, A.G. Merzhanov, A.S. Rogachev, V.N. Sanin, V.I. Yuhvid, V.L. Levtov, V.V. Romanov, S.F. Savin, A.I. Ivanov Exploration of the zero-gravity state effect to the mechanism of combustion and structure formation in SHS systems (powder mixtures and pressed samples) is the main purpose of experiments on self-spreading high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in space. Solution of this task will allow fabricating refractory materials with a unique structure and characteristics, which can be efficiently used as heat-insulating materials in space.
