Optical characterisation of metallic meshes for space antennas transformable reflectors

The paper deals with metallic meshes for space antenna transformable reflectors. Optical characteristics of four metallic meshes (15 micron tungsten, 15 micron gold-plated tungsten, 20 micron molybdenum, and 50 micron Ni-coated steel) were investigated with the Nikolet IS50 spectrophotometer. The sp...

Summary:The paper deals with metallic meshes for space antenna transformable reflectors. Optical characteristics of four metallic meshes (15 micron tungsten, 15 micron gold-plated tungsten, 20 micron molybdenum, and 50 micron Ni-coated steel) were investigated with the Nikolet IS50 spectrophotometer. The spectral optical characteristics of these metallic meshes in the range from 0.4 to 2.5 microns are required for thermal design of space antenna reflectors.
