Abstract

In recent years data have been collected on conductive thermal-control paints, such as PCBZ and NS43G, in order to evaluate their stability to the space environment. In addition to being considered for spacecraft thermal control, the paints have been considered as an alternate material for use within on- orbit calibration systems. This will provide both an absolute calibration, by knowing the magnitude of the reflected light, and flat-field pixel-to-pixel comparisons within an instrument. Data are summarized here, as collected by the Cassini, Multi-angel Imaging SpectroRadiometer, and the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer projects. Properties evaluated include absorptance, reflectance factor, electrical conductivity, thermal cycling, resistance, and environmental exposure stability.
