Study of TPMV-1S radio absorbing material for use on spacecraft

Abstract

The use of radio absorbing materials makes it possible to reduce the reflected electromagnetic fields from the structural elements, housings of on board instruments and devices of spacecraft. For spacecraft, it is necessary to use radio absorbing materials that do not change the frequency responses of the reflection coefficient at extreme space temperatures. The results of studies of the reflection coefficient of the radio absorbing material TPMV-1S which intend for use on spacecraft are presented. Based on carried out research it was concluded that this radio absorbing material TPMV-1S can be used to reduce electromagnetic fields on board of spacecraft via space flight.
