1. Shape memory alloys can be used in aerospace equipment. They can be used in low-temperature fittings in military aircraft hydraulic systems. They can also be used to manufacture lunar antennas to explore the mysteries of the universe.
 
2. People use shape memory alloys to make antennas at high temperatures, and then compress them into a small iron ball at low temperatures, so that their volume can be reduced to one-thousandth of their original size. The intense radiation of the sun makes it easy to be transported to the moon, thus restoring it to its original shape, which is based on the need to send valuable cosmic information from the earth.
 
3. In addition, satellites also use shape memory release devices to open containers, which are used to protect sensitive germanium detectors from contamination during assembly and launch.
