AZJ-4020 White Thermal Control Paint / Coating Jul 13, 2009

AZJ-4020 has been recommended for important segments of the proposed Advanced Technology Solar Telescope (ATST) Project. This after a large ATST study comparing the impact of 1 year of weather exposure atop Haleakalā on the island of Maui, Hawaii on solar reflectance and near-normal emittance of a number of coatings from various manufacturers. The study is described in detail in the proceedings paper of L. Phelps from the National Solar Observatory:

Phelps, L. (2008) "Evaluation of thermal control coatings exposed to ambient weather conditions at Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory," Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes II, edited by Larry M. Stepp, Roberto Gilmozzi, Proc. of SPIE Vol. 7012, 701230, (2008).
