Abstract
Mars exploration is expanding including recent successful missions using rovers and even a helicopter. Future missions will use even more sensitive instruments. Currently, these systems lack elasticity and damping that would be required to protect the sensitive equipment from vibrations. This talk discusses how to design rubber to withstand the Martian environment by assuring low-temperature elasticity and UV resistance.
