Abstract
This work seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of the properties concerning 3-D printing filaments that have potential to be used for lunar applications. The associated properties in focus for the study, vibration and thermal-vacuum-resistance, are fundamental aspects of spaceflight and are critical to mission success for objectives associated with the environmental factors in space. The successful outcome of this work will answer questions relating to the feasibility of micro carbon fiber filled nylon 3-D printing filaments such as Markforged’s Onyx® for application in Space Technologies Laboratory projects, including for the development of structures relating to the EagleCam 2.0 lunar mission. Particularly, this work aims to identify possible materials of which the chassis of EagleCam 2.0 can be built as to minimize communication interference while still preserving the known material strength and thermal conductivity of commonly used metals.
