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.

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).
