Titanium (Materials in Space: Zoom to the Moon)

Find out more about titanium in space

Planetary Pros: Titanium is very light, tough and strong, making it a valuable material for space rockets.

It doesn’t corrode easily and can stay strong in the extreme temperatures you experience during space travel.

Titanium’s properties make it ideal for fuel tanks and engine parts

Cosmic Cons: Titanium is fairly expensive compared to aluminium and it can also be difficult to work with because it takes a lot of heat to melt it. 

It can also react with other metals and materials at high temperatures, so you’ll have to think about where to use it.
