In satellites Nano Black is applied for solar thermal collectors and solar panels as well as for passive thermal management.
In addition to its unique optical performance Nano Black delivers many other attributes important in space applications:
- Essentially zero outgassing
- Vacuum and thermal-vacuum cycling compatible
- Operating temperatures from (-)70°C to (+)250°C
- No particulation
- The coating thickness is only a few microns thick
- Compatible with virtually all substrate materials
