This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 12 January 2010, is one of a series of advanced technology reports produced in FY 2009 under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) program. It reviews materials for launch vehicles, space vehicles and reusable rocket engines, including aluminum alloys, polymer and metal matrix composites, titanium and nickel alloys, ceramics and titanium aluminides. It concludes that newer materials and design methods offer many ways to improve structural efficiency and cost compared with the space shuttle.
