Abstract

The Effect of Oxygen Interaction with Materials experiment flown on Shuttle flight STS-8 examined the effects of atomic oxygen on a variety of coatings, composites and polymeric films. The ultraviolet, visible, and near, middle, and far IR spectra of Martin Black and Infrablack samples used in this experiment are described. A second test of this experiment included tubes coated on the inside with Martin Black. Mirrors were placed on one end of each tube to simulate a telescope. No degradation of the Martin Black was observed. A plasma etching chamber was used to simulate exposure of Martin Black, Enhanced Martin Black, and Chemglaze Z-306 to atomic oxygen. Martin Black and Enhanced Martin Black changed very little, but the changes in Chemglaze Z-306 were significant.
