A facility for the simulation of environmental parameters and qualification of flight thermal coatingsThere is a continuing interest and need for investigation and development of, various paints, coatings, multi-layer insulation, and electrically conductive paints and coatings used for thermal control and electrical discharge of spacecraft surfaces. Degradation of these surfaces by solar-wind energy particles and ultraviolet irradiation, as well as contamination by the outgassing of materials used in conjunction or close proximity to these surfaces, continues to be a matter of concern. The following is a description of a facility with the capability of evaluating the synergistic effects encountered in the space environment. Actual flight qualification programs are also described.
