Thermal Properties of Double-Aluminized Kapton at Low Temperatures

Abstract: Double-aluminized kapton (DAK) is commonly used in multi-layer insulation blankets in cryogenic systems. NASA plans to use individual DAK sheets in lightweight deployable shields for satellites carrying instruments. A set of these shields will reflect away thermal radiation from the sun, the earth, and the instrument's warm side and allow the instrument's cold side to radiate its own heat to deep space. In order to optimally design such a shield system, it is important to understand the thermal characteristics… Show more

“…Oxidative degradation is more common in high temperature environments, so an alternative atmosphere is required to prevent a rapid reduction in film lifetime [ 39 ]. The probable structural components of the surface area of the substrate after the influence of ozone and temperature are shown in Figure 1 , then the process of decomposition of the precursors and the formation of Bi-O and Fe-O bonds take place [ 40 ].…”

“…The quality and reliability of a system's model depend on the model's adequacy to describe the system and its real-life behavior. 11 Model parameter values are often known only under ideal conditions or in a few limited laboratory test cases, [12][13][14][15] which either do not necessarily apply to the specific system or mission being investigated or lie outside the domain of the intended application of the model. 2 In addition, test settings and boundary conditions, as well as the hardware configuration, lead engineers to introduce effective parameters to account for geometric complexity [e.g., in a multilayer insulation (MLI) blanket] and physical phenomena caused by hardware interactions (e.g., aluminum screws bolted into a titanium rod or the presence of test sensors, instrumentation, etc.…”

“…This configuration is robust against launch loads and has very small (<0.5 K) temperature gradients. A similar shield is used for the MIRI instrument on JWST and has been proven thermally 5 and structurally. The shield is offset from the surface of the barrel by 63 mm using thin-wall Vespel SP-1 tubes spaced ∼1 m apart (see Fig.…”
