摘要
At geosynchronous altitudes, electrostatic discharges on solar arrays are a suspected cause of operational problems on spacecraft. A newly-developed, environmentally stable, conductive solar-cell coating eliminates discharges without introducing the significant power loss associated with previous conductive coatings. The new coating has two layers: an inner conducting layer with significantly reduced thickness (to reduce power absorption), and an outer MgF2 antireflective layer that protects the conducting layer against environmental degradation.
