Durability of Passive Thermal Control Materials Exposed to Low Earth Orbit Environment
Spacecraft components for passive thermal control need to resist degradation in the space environment. The Materials on International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) 11th, 15th, and 16th flights and the Materials Exposure and Technology Innovation in Space (METIS) 1st and 2nd flights exposed a variety of materials to the low Earth orbital environment. Materials discussed in this presentation include chemical conversion coatings per MIL-DTL-5541, thermal control coatings, and thermal protection materials for high temperature applications. Space environmental and molecular contamination effects on optical properties are reviewed. Future MISSE and METIS experiments are discussed.
