Unusual materials effects observed on the thermal control surfaces experiment (S0069)A number of unusual effects were observed on the Thermal Control Surfaces Experiment (TCSE) test samples, front cover, and structural components. These effects include atomic oxygen (AO) texturing of the exposed surface of the silver Teflon (Ag/FEP) thermal control material, 'brownish' discoloration of the Ag/FEP material, changes in fluorescence of thermal control paint samples, and meteoroid/debris impact effects on silver Teflon.
