Abstract A space-qualified silicone polymer, Dow Corning (DC) 93-500, has been used as a spacecraft solar cell adhesive and has been proposed for use in a Fresnel lens solar concentrator for space power applications. Future applications of DC93-500 for exterior spacecraft surfaces require an understanding of its overall space environment durability. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation is among the space environment elements that can be hazardous to the properties of DC93-500. This paper describes investigations into the effects ofVUVradiation on DC93-500 silicone film.
