The Keldysh Center has moved to the development of cellular material instead of layered, said the general director of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov

MOSCOW, August 22. /tass/. The Keldysh Center (a developer of the material, part of Roscosmos) will create a new design of self-healing material that will be used in Russian spacesuits. This was reported to TASS by the general director of the enterprise Vladimir Koshlakov.

"Everything is fine with the [self-healing] material, it works, but the design needs to be finalized. We have now moved from a flat layered material to the development of cellular material, that is, these are some cells filled with this material," Koshlakov said.

According to the general director of the company, research work is underway on this topic. The initial version of the material was worked out with the Scientific and Production Enterprise "Zvezda". The Keldysh Center plans to make and work out a new design in the near future.

"The most worn elements in a spacesuit are gloves and elbow joints. The layered material, when the arm bends at the elbow, becomes thinner, and cellular structures hold the material in order to preserve its properties," Koshlakov explained, specifying that the work is being carried out almost on an initiative basis.

In August 2020, Koshlakov informed TASS about the development of a nanomaterial for spacecraft capable of recovering in case of damage, including micrometeorites. The basis of such a material is a non-Newtonian fluid, its viscosity depends on the deformation rate.
