Investigation of electrostatic discharge phenomena on conductive and non-conductive solar reflectorsA sample composed of non conductive optical solar reflectors (OSR) was irradiated with low energy electrons at the DERTS facility to study the effects of charge build up on thermal control coating materials. The degration effects on this panel due to electrostatic discharges were investigated to find possible alternatives to limit the amount of damage. The following systems are evaluated: (1) non conductive OSR (non conductive adhesive) (2) non conductive OSR (conductive adhesive); and conductive OSR (conductive adhesive).
