In this study, we focus on 3D-printed PEEK/CFRTP (Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Thermoplastic) and PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) materials as new space materials. In space, there are intense ultraviolet (UV) rays that are weakened by the atmosphere on Earth, s...

The low Earth orbit (LEO) environment exposes spacecraft to factors that can degrade the dimensional stability of the structure. Carbon Fibre/Polyether Ether Ketone (CF/PEEK) can limit such degradations. However, there are limited in-orbit data on the pe...
