The very low earth orbit (VLEO) space satellite functional composites concept was proposed to endure harsh space environments:
atomic oxygen, UV radiation, thermal cycling, and high vacuum
Plasma Thruster Composites in Extreme Space Conditions
Discharge wall must satisfy the requirements: high-temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance,
high thermal conductivity low thermal expansion, and dielectric properties
3D-Printed Composites for Cosmic Radiation Shielding in Space

Radiation shielding composites were developed and verified for Low Earth Orbit (LEO)/Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) satellite functional composites to endure harsh space environments, including severe radiation and atomic oxygen
Anti-Satellite (ASAT) Weapon Issues in Space
Due to the character of satellites path which rarely change, satellite can be easily detected and tracked with surveillance systems,
which increases the probability of damage by weapons systems
Hypervelocity Impact Space Application
In recent space environments, the use of satellites has attracted growing attention regarding the effectiveness of Whipple shields
against hypervelocity impacts from micro-meteoroids and orbital debris (MMOD)
Hypervelocity impact shielding sandwich composites with an STF-impregnated intermediate layer for stealth cube satellite applications
