A Database for the Selection of Surfaces and Materials for Space- and Ground-Based Applications

  • Conference paper
Protection of Space Materials from the Space Environment

Abstract

Stellar Optics Research International Corporation (SORIC) has compiled the world’s largest databank of spectral reflectance data and Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) data for black, white, reflective and transmissive surfaces and materials which are commonly employed within or viewed by groundbased and space-based instrument applications. These surfaces and materials, and in particular the black and white colored materials, typically are used for: stray light control, thermal control, calibration, and visual target cues.
