This Standard details a test in which pressure-sensitive tapes are used to assess the suitability of, for example, coatings, paints, films and other thin materials, proposed for use on spacecraft and associated equipment.<\/p>\n
Surface coatings, such as thermal control paints and corrosion protection coatings, are affected, both on the ground and after launch, by exposure to the environment.<\/p>\n
It is therefore important that the adhesion of the coating to the relevant substrate remains at an acceptable level after exposure to the relevant environmental condition.<\/p>\n
The following materials and assemblies are covered by this test method:<\/p>\n
organic coating, e.g. varnishes, paints and plastic films;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
metallic finishes on, for example, printed circuit boards, second-surface mirrors, thermal radiators, plastic films;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
adhesive layers;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
composite thin films;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
small assemblies, e.g. solar cells having attached glass covers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristics and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.<\/p>\n
