Investigation of Thermo-optical Characteristics of Thermo-regulating Covers on Geostationary Orbit

This report presents the results of an investigation of thermo-optical characteristics, i.e. the total solar absorptance, as and solar emittance, c of thermal control coatings (TCC) exposed to the space environment at a geostationary orbit (GEO).

Description
Summary:This report presents the results of an investigation of thermo-optical characteristics, i.e. the total solar absorptance, as and solar emittance, c of thermal control coatings (TCC) exposed to the space environment at a geostationary orbit (GEO). Experiments results from samples that were flown on space vehicles (SV) 'Yamal-100' and 'Yamal-200' for 8 and 4 flight years, respectively, are presented here. The results from experiments flown for 6 and 2 flight years were presented in an earlier article.
