Self-healing spacecraft material. Researcher testing a self-healing composite laminate material intended for use on spacecraft. The material has veins of resin that leak out and seal any small break made in the surface. Other veins contain a chemical that reacts with the resin and causes it to harden and seal quickly. This is intended to allow self-repair of any micrometeoroid punctures made to satellites and spacecraft like the Space Shuttles.
