Space is the Place for Synthetic Graphite
Synthetic graphite is widely used in the aerospace industry, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see why graphite’s physical properties fit the needs of the aerospace industry. Well, maybe you do, but we will simplify things a bit here. Synthetic graphite’s heat resistance helps space vehicles sustain the high temperature or re-entry through the atmosphere. It’s helping replace fossil fuels as the main power source for some aerospace fuel systems. And there’s a lot more to the story of synthetic graphite’s expanding role in sending rockets, satellites, and people to space. What follows is a rundown...
