Scientific paper

Several candidate protective coatings on Kapton and uncoated Kapton were exposed to the LEO environment on the LDEF in order to determine whether the coatings could be used to protect polymeric substrates from degradation in the LEO environment. These materials are used for flexible solar array panels in which the polymer is the structural member that supports the solar cell and current carriers. Arrays such as these are used on the Hubble Space Telescope and will be used on Space Station Freedom. The results of the experiments are presented.
