Book Description
This report describes a thermal control coatings experiment conducted on the Air Force P72-1 satellite which was launched into a low earth polar orbit in October of 1972. The objectives of this experiment were to measure the amount of degradation of experimental thermal control coatings after exposure to the space environment and to correlate these results with those of space exposure for the same coatings measured in ground-based laboratory simulation equipment. Based on selected data from over 5000 revolutions covering a period of one year, it was found that all the coatings initially degraded to a greater degree than expected, possibly due to contamination. The most stable coatings were optical solar reflectors and the least stable was a white alpha-Al2O3 pigmented coating. An experimental fabric material showed greater stability than state-of-the-art white coatings. (Author).

ML-101 Thermal Control Coatings: Five Year Space Exposure

Book Description
This report presents the results of a thermal control coatings experiment on the Air Force P72-1 satellite which was launched into a low earth polar orbit in October 1972. The objectives of this experiment were to measure the amount of degradation of experimental thermal control coatings after exposure to the space environment and to correlate these results with those of exposure for the same coatings measured in a laboratory space simulation chamber. Data during five years of space exposure (more than 26,000 revolutions of the satellite) show that all coatings degraded more than expected. Most of this degradation probably was due to contamination.

Space Exploration and Humanity [2 volumes]
Author: American Astronautical Society
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1851095195
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1557
Book Description
A complete history of human endeavors in space, this book also moves beyond the traditional topics of human spaceflight, space technology, and space science to include political, social, cultural, and economic issues, and also commercial, civilian, and military applications. In two expertly written volumes, Space Exploration and Humanity: A Historical Encyclopedia covers all aspects of space flight in all participating nations, ranging from the Cold War–era beginnings of the space race to the lunar landings and the Apollo-Soyuz mission; from the Shuttle disasters and the Hubble telescope to Galileo, the Mars Rover, and the International Space Station. The book moves beyond the traditional topics of human spaceflight, space technology, and space science to include political, social, cultural, and economic issues, and also commercial, civilian, and military applications. Produced in conjunction with the History Committee of the American Astronautical Society, this work divides its coverage into six sections, each beginning with an overview essay, followed by an alphabetically organized series of entries on topics such as astrophysics and planetary science; civilian and commercial space applications; human spaceflight and microgravity science; space and society; and space technology and engineering. Whether investigating a specific issue or event or tracing an overarching historic trend, students and general readers will find this an invaluable resource for launching their study of one of humanity's most extraordinary endeavors.
