内容記述 | The objectives of this LDEF experiment are to determine the effects of both the Shuttle-induced environment and the space radiation environment on selected sets of spacecraft thermal control coatings. The experimental approach is to passively expose samples of thermal control coatings to Shuttle-induced and space radiation environments and to return the samples for postflight evaluation and comparison with preflight measurements to determine the effects of the environmental exposure. Optical measurements of the samples will include total normal emittance and spectral reflectance. The experiment will utilize a 6 in. deep peripheral tray and an experiment exposure control canister (EECC). The EECC will provide protection for some of the samples against exposure to the launch and reentry environments. The EECC will be programmed to open about 2 weeks after LDEF deployment and close pior to LDEF retrieval by the Shuttle and reentry. Some samples will not be housed in the EECC and will be exposed to the Shuttle-induced environment during launch and reentry. Comparison of the data from these samples with data from samples in the EECC will yield information about possible contamination induced degradation effects. |
