  • Particulate and solar radiation stable coating for spacecraft
    Patent number: 4008348
    Abstract: A laminate thermal control coating for spacecraft comprising a layer of solar-radiation stable film, a layer of particulate-radiation stable film applied to the upper surface of the solar-radiation stable film, and a layer of reflecting material applied to the lower surface of the solar-radiation stable film. The coating experiences no increase in solar radiation absorptance (the proportion of radiant energy absorbed) upon exposure to particular or solar radiation as the particulate radiation is substantially absorbed in the particulate-radiation stable layer and the solar radiation partially absorbed by the particulate-radiation stable layer is transmitted by the solar-radiation stable film to the reflecting material which reflects it back through the laminate and into space.
