Abstract
High temperature superconductive materials can have significant impact in several space-based applications due to the improved electrical, m agnetic, or thermal properties of the superconductive devices over exi sting components. However, for high temperature superconductors to be successfully applied in space-borne systems, several environmental con siderations associated with spaceflight must first be addressed. The e nvironmental factors encountered during spaceflight missions will be d iscussed, and a review of studies addressing the effects of these fact ors on the performance of the superconductive devices will be provided .
