Abstract
Most spacecrafts flown today are covered with multilayer insulation blankets as the most efficient thermal control element. This study was performed to investigate the influence of various processing methods for space use multilayer insulation on thermal performance. The latter was measured by the calorimetric method using a liquid nitrogen cryostat and it was verified that the thermal performance of the multilayer insulation blankets that were processed in the most conventional manner for space use was found to be deteriorated considerably by hem processing such as overlap, seam, and patch. An estimation of the deterioration of the thermal performance of processed multilayer insulation blankets is given in this report.
