In order to manufacture and produce the components to be used for developing aerospace products, it is essential to determine the conformity of material characteristics to the design requirements. However, since the Korean industry has no experience to develop aircraft and spacecraft, the national certification system has not been established. Hence, it is necessary to define the qualification methodology of material to establish the durability and the safety of aircraft and spacecraft. In this paper the characterization methodology which has been performed in aeronautically advanced countries for determination of conformity in materials and production process is reviewed. The change of material properties due to the space environment and the example of evaluation program of composites for the application of aircraft are presented. so that the foundation of evaluation system for aerospace materials can be initiated.
