The absence of a corrosive environment in space may permit the structural use of ultralight reactive metals whose terrestrial application is limited. Alloys based on magnesium-lithium in particular could enable a reduction in the payload mass required for large space structures. The direct in-situ preparation of shaped structural units by metal foaming techniques appears to offer advantages in increasing structural stiffness. To test these concepts, an experimental payload has been designed and built to be flown as part of the NASA GAS self-contained payload program.
