Satellite construction material. Engineers silhouetted against a strong,but lightweight,material used in satellite construction. The material,called NIDA,is a composite material consisting of a layer of aluminium sandwiched between two carbon sheets. The honeycomb structure keeps the structure rigid,while the lightness of the material reduces the fuel needed to launch the satellites into space.
