The body of the Mars Orbiter needs to be made up of a special material in order to avoid rusting of the parts and overheating of the surface. Explain your choice of materials that scientists used so that a disaster could be avoided.

The special material is

       Aluminum and Composite Fibre Reinforced Plastic -  or,

            Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer -  CFPR

  CFPR

         -  has a very high strength for a given weight

         - reflects well heat

        -  does not rust

        - durable

 

It may not be the best.  But it is practically the most fitting substance that can be used to optimized on multiple criteria.

While traveling through the atmosphere at very high velocity, there is a lot of stress on materials.   The materials could vibrate while traveling and that requires strength.    The radiation of Sun heats the spacecraft a lot. So it has to withstand high temperature.
