Physical and Chemical Properties and Space-Environment Stability of New Materials for Space Power and Commerical Application

摘要

Testing and evaluation the suitability of materials for use in space power systems and related space and commercial applications are reported. Materials and proposed applications include protective coatings for surfaces exposed to the space environment. electrochromic thermal control materials, atomic-oxygen-durable materials, improved wiring insulation for space power systems, iron-bearing graphite fibers for use in composite EMI shields, arc-proof transparent coatings for photovoltaic arrays, and cooperative research programs with industrial companies.
