Coatings for satellites were studied for a spacecraft which will measure the radiation budget of the Earth by detecting the radiation pressure through use of a microaccelerator (project BIRAMIS). Several types of coating were selected acting as radiation transducer and skin of the satlellite. Their optical properties were identified in the solar and infrared range, and the thrust coefficient of the satellite was estimated.
