THERMAL COVERS FOR NUSTAR OPTICS MODULES
The Nuclear Spectroscopy Telescope Array (NuSTAR) optics modules required a cover that provided acceptable thermal and physical properties while maintaining transparency throughout the NuSTAR band. The front surface of the cover, which points toward space, is coated with 0.08μm of Al then 1.2 μm of SiOX. The back surface, which faces the optics module, is coated with 0.08μm of Al. The combination of carrier film and coating is >97% transmissive at 6 keV for a single layer.
