Thermophysical Properties of Advanced Spacecraft Materials Laboratory

Relevance: Russia is striving for technological independence in the field of space, laser technologies and microelectronics. This requires domestic optical materials capable of withstanding extreme space conditions: radiation, temperature changes, and meteorite impacts. Our work is aimed at creating such materials, opening up new horizons for Russian science and industry. Goals and objectives: • Creation of new generation optical coatings: We will develop coatings capable of protecting optical elements from the most destructive influences, while maintaining their high efficiency in a wide spectral range. • Development of MSTU competencies: The project will allow MSTU to become a leader in the field of creating optical coatings for extreme conditions, strengthening our authority in the global scientific community. • Solving practical problems: The coatings we have developed will find application in space telescopes, high-power lasers, microelectronics and other advanced technologies. What will we do: • We will create unique technologies for applying optical coatings with specified properties. • We will develop methods for quality control of coatings at the highest level. • We will conduct large-scale tests of coatings in conditions simulating cosmic vacuum, radiation and other extreme factors. • We will create detailed recommendations on the use and storage of optical elements with our coatings. Expected results: • Prototypes of optical elements: We will create samples of optical elements with our coatings for various applications, from space telescopes to microchips. • New technologies: Unique technologies and equipment for the application and control of optical coatings will be developed. • Scientific publications: The results of our work will be published in leading scientific journals, increasing the prestige of MSTU. Why is this interesting: • The Future of Technology: You will become part of a team creating future technologies that will change the world. • Practical experience: You will get a unique experience working with modern equipment and learn how to solve complex engineering problems. • Interdisciplinary: The project combines physics, chemistry, materials science and other fields of knowledge, which will allow you to broaden your horizons. Join our team and create the future with us!
