NASA Lewis Research Center's Electro-Physics Branch is participating in the POSA-2 Space Flight Experiment to assess the effects of low Earth orbit and spacecraft environment contamination on power system materials and surfaces. This experiment package will be flown for 1 year in low Earth orbit and will be returned to Earth for subsequent evaluation of optical and thermal properties. Representative samples of solar array blanket materials, solar dynamic reflector materials, thermal control coatings, and sapphire are included in the experiment package.
