APPLICATION OF POLYMER COMPOSITES In PRODUCTS ROCKET-SPACE AS RESERVE INCREASE ITS MASS and functional efficiency

V.A. Kovalenko, А.V. Kondratyev

A desk review of the application of polymer composite materials in products of rocket and space technology. Provided a brief chronology of the formation and development of composite products rocket and space technology in enterprises of the former Soviet Union and now Russia and Ukraine, as well as foreign countries. Presented modern trends shaping the global market of carbon fibers. It is noted that, despite the objective difficulties of the post-Soviet development of missile space technology in Ukraine, Yuzhnoye SDO is widely used modern polymer composite materials, which significantly increase the mass and the functional efficiency of the national rocket and space technology.

Key words: polymer composite materials, rocket and space technology, mass and functional efficiency, carbon fibers
