Thermal control paints on LDEF: Results of sub-experiment 802-18Several thermal control paints were flown on the LDEF, including the white paints Chemglaze A276, S13GLo, and YB-71, and the black paint D-111. The effects of low earth orbit, which includes UV radiation and atomic oxygen, varied significantly with each paint and its location on LDEF. This paper will examine the performance of these paints as determined by changes in their optical and physical properties, including solar absorptance, surface chemical changes, and changes in surface morphology. It will also provide a correlation of these optical and physical property changes to the physical phenomena that occurred in these materials during the LDEF mission.
