This standard specifies requirements for the durability testing of coatings most commonly used for space applications, i.e.:<\/p>\n
Thin film optical coatings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Thermo-optical and thermal control coatings (the majority are paints, metallic deposits and coatings for stray light reduction)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Metallic coatings for other applications (RF, electrical, corrosion protection)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This standard covers testing for both ground and in-orbit phases of a space mission.<\/p>\n
This standard includes coatings within off the shelf items<\/p>\n
This standard specifies the types of test to be performed for each class of coating, covering the different phases of a space project (evaluation, qualification and acceptance)<\/p>\n
This standard does not cover:<\/p>\n
The particular qualification requirements for a specific mission<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Specific functional testing requirements for the different coating classes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Test requirements for long term storage<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Solar cell cover glass coatings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Surface treatments and conformal coatings applied on EEE parts<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.<\/p>\n
