Vantablack S-VIS Space Coating

Vantablack S-VIS Space Coating is engineered for use in space-qualified applications, excelling in suppressing stray light in optical systems. This coating is highly regarded for its ability to offer extremely high spectrally flat absorption, extending from the ultraviolet through to the near-millimeter wavelengths. Such attributes make it a superior choice for space missions, where light pollution from celestial bodies is a paramount challenge. Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of space, Vantablack S-VIS improves the effectiveness of baffles and calibration systems by reducing both the size and weight of the instrument package. This not only enhances the optical performance but also contributes to cost savings in manufacturing and deployment. The coating has been tested rigorously to ensure it withstands the environmental extremes experienced in space, including thermal stability and resistance to outgassing. For over a decade, Vantablack S-VIS has demonstrated flawless performance in low Earth orbit, particularly on dual star-trackers on disaster monitoring satellites. Its reliability has been proven through numerous successful implementations, including its deployment on the International Space Station. These achievements underscore Surrey NanoSystems' leadership in advanced coating technologies for aerospace applications.

Satellite Coating for Constellations

Satellite Coating for Constellations, utilizing Vantablack technology, is specifically designed to address the visual signature reduction needs of satellite systems. This coating excels in its ability to markedly decrease optical reflectance, thus diminishing the visibility of satellites against the backdrop of outer space. Vantablack coatings offer high resistance to atomic oxygen (ATOX), ensuring the longevity and stability of the coating in the space environment. Characterized by its low mass, the coating is represented as being under 5 mg/cm² at a 30µm thickness, making it exceptionally lightweight, a critical consideration in space applications. Its high emissivity, measured at 0.98, and ultra-low outgassing properties (confirmed through ASTM E595 standards) further assert its reliability and performance under extreme temperature ranges from -196°C to 200°C. This Vantablack-coated solution enhances not only the functional aspects of satellite operation but also contributes substantially to the optimization of satellite array designs and effective thermal management. It stands out as a premier choice for those seeking efficient, robust, and versatile coating solutions for satellite constellations, keeping in line with the rigorous demands of modern aerospace engineering.
