SOLAR REFLECTOR COATINGS FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS

摘要

Both polymeric (S13G/LO-1) and inorganic (Z-93 and YB-71) coatings show good resistance to the UV and charged particle radiation, AO, and vacuum-induced behavior to be encountered in space. However, other hostile threats such as micrometeoroid hits, plasmas, electrical discharges, laser and nuclear effects can all seriously compromise the survivability of these spacecraft materials. There is a continuing need for new, more stable materials for longer missions in the complex, hostile space environment.
