Coatings
With a history dating back to thermal coatings for the Lunar Lander, SOC uses two different coating processes: vacuum deposition and application of pigmented paints.
Vacuum deposited coatings are manufactured using several different techniques that are standard in the coating industry:
- Resistively heated thermal evaporation
- Electron beam evaporation
- Ion beam assisted deposition
- EMI/EMP shielded windows
- Satellite antenna coatings with controlled solar absorptance and emittance
- Micro-optic, directionally coated, IR spectrally tailored low emissive coating
- Visually reflective, microwave transparent coating
- High durability exo-atmospheric IR coating
- High efficiency silver based lens coating
- Satellite telescope low emittance thermal protective coating
- Signature/thermal control of ground-based and airborne vehicles
SOC has large capacity coating chambers for both roll coating applications and large structures. SOC chambers were used to coat the primary mirror for the Kepler Space Telescope.
Coatings have been developed at SOC for many applications, such as:
