ABSTRACT:
A protective composite thin film coating structure is disclosed which provides ultraviolet (UV)-protection to polymer components used in low earth orbit (LEO) environments. The structure protects such components from physical and optical degradation due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation and oxygen, in particular atomic oxygen.
