Abstract. Graphene, owing to its unique physicochemical properties, finds wide application in various fields of science and technology. This article examines the use of graphene in aerospace technologies, including the creation of lightweight and durable materials, heat-dissipating coatings, and its potential application in solar panels, electronic devices of spacecraft, and radiation protection systems. An in-depth analysis shows that the integration of graphene nanomaterials can significantly enhance structural performance, increase reliability, and improve resistance to extreme conditions. Experimental studies using the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method confirm the efficiency of high-quality graphene synthesis. This work demonstrates the potential of graphene for the development of innovative aerospace systems capable of ensuring an optimal balance between mass and strength, as well as resistance to thermal and mechanical loads. The results of the study may contribute to further technological improvement and broader practical application of graphene in modern aerospace projects. The obtained data open up new opportunities to enhance structural efficiency, promote the advancement of cutting-edge materials science, and provide a competitive advantage in the aerospace industry. This is a promising area. In addition, the article highlights modern approaches to the synthesis of graphene nanostructures, including single-step and multi-step methods, features of interaction with metal substrates, and crystallinity control. Particular attention is given to the scalability of CVD processes for industrial applications. Experimental data are presented on the morphology, thermal conductivity, and tribological characteristics of the obtained materials. The results emphasize the relevance of developing functional graphene coatings to improve the durability and energy efficiency of aerospace systems under high temperatures and mechanical stress.
