Abstract

Microporous black polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) flexible thin sheets are successfully flown as solar diffusers on NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft. They serve as multilayer insulation (MLI) blanket outer covers for the arm of the Touch And Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM), the sunshade of the OSIRIS-REx Camera Suite (OCAMS) PolyCam imager, and the motor riser of the OCAMS SamCam imager. Additionally, microporous white PTFE flexible thin sheets are successfully flown as a MLI blanket outer cover with a low ratio of absorptance to emittance for the Regolith X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (REXIS). For ground testing, microporous black and white PTFE flexible thin sheets were successfully used as optical targets of the Touch And Go Camera System (TAGCAMS) NavCam imagers in the flight system thermal vacuum test.
