The Vantablack S-VIS Space Coating is engineered for space applications, where it serves as an advanced stray light suppression and blackbody coating. Suitable for use on satellite instruments, this coating helps to minimize the light reflection that can occur in space environments, thereby ensuring higher accuracy in optical measurements and instrument calibration.
Vantablack S-VIS offers exceptional spectral absorption from ultraviolet through to the terahertz range, crucial for a variety of optical systems. Its lightweight and highly absorbent properties allow for more compact baffle and calibration systems without compromising performance. The coating has demonstrated reliability in space missions, offering consistent absorption over extended periods.
This coating is particularly critical for optical systems that operate under the challenging conditions of space, including variations in temperature and pressure, as well as the intense radiation environment. It has been applied successfully in low earth orbit operations, enhancing the operability of instruments by reducing system complexity and improving the accuracy of optical sensors.
