| 内容記述 | Published data reporting the change in solar absorptance as a function of time on orbit for certain satellites has been re-examined. The optical property change of metallized FEP as a function of total particulate radiation dose received by specific satellites has been estimated. Results tend to follow a common trend and a design curve has been constructed to estimate solar absorptance change as a function of radiation dose for metallized FEP at any altitude. Effects due to apparent contamination on several of the satellites are addressed and taken into account in determining property changes. Data from LDEF, ML-101, NavStar 1-5, NTS-2, the SCATHA experiment, and SOLRAD 11 are used as the basis of the design curve. A similar comparison is made between published atomic oxygen recession data from numerous Space Shuttle flights, a LEO experiment flown by Lockheed, and LDEF results. Variation of atomic oxygen recession rate of FEP as a function of exposure conditions is determined. |
