Research and development of composite material systems to show applicability of these materials to shuttle structures and to demonstrate availability through a hardware development program is reported. The various configurations studied and potential areas of composite structures use are described and an outline of ongoing composite programs, complementing the indicated feasible applications, including a typical cost study, is shown. The following composite systems are investigated: Boron filaments with epoxy, polyimide, or aluminum matrix, and graphite filaments with epoxy or polyimide matrix.
