Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of space technology, and in particular to a multi-environment coupling test and in-situ test analysis system and method for thermal control coatings. Background Art

[0002] When a spacecraft is in orbit, it will be affected by a variety of environments at the same time, mainly radiation effects and high and low temperature cycle changes. Low-orbit spacecraft will also be affected by atomic oxygen.

[0003] When sunlight hits the surface of a spacecraft, it will cause some damage to the material. Since the ultraviolet wavelength is short and the photon energy is high, it is an important factor causing the performance degradation of the spacecraft. The energy in the ultraviolet band accounts for about 8.7% of the total solar irradiance, and its photon energy can break the covalent bonds of organic materials, making the materials brittle and causing performance degradation.

[0004] Atomic oxygen mainly exists in the low-orbit environment of 200 to 700 km and has strong oxidizing properties. When a spacecraft is operating in a low-orbit, atomic oxygen will collide with its surface materials with an energy of about 5eV and react, resulting in erosion. Organic polymer materials, carbon fiber composite materials, silver and other materials commonly used in spacecraft are susceptible to erosion by atomic oxygen and performance degradation.

[0005] The spacecraft operates alternately in the sunlight and shadow areas, and the temperature of its surface changes accordingly. Depending on the absorption capacity of sunlight energy and the heat radiation capacity, the temperature of the surface material generally varies between -100℃ and +100℃, and the range of variation may be larger in local locations. Due to the influence of the thermal expansion coefficient, the coating and other materials of the surface will also degrade in performance. Some organic materials will also become cold and brittle at lower temperatures, which will also affect their performance.

[0006] In summary, the materials on the surface of low-orbit spacecraft will be simultaneously affected by vacuum, ultraviolet radiation, atomic oxygen, and high and low temperature thermal cycles. Through prior art search, it was found that the publication number is CN101093228A, which discloses a method and device for simulating the composite environment of low-Earth orbit space. It is possible to conduct tests on the composite environment of atomic oxygen + ultraviolet + temperature cycle, but it is not possible to conduct performance tests and analyze the valence and structure of elements. The publication number is CN202211695405, which discloses an atomic oxygen-ultraviolet environment comprehensive simulation experimental device and its experimental method, which can conduct atomic oxygen + ultraviolet composite environment tests, and can also conduct spectral tests, but it is not possible to conduct high and low temperature cycle tests and analyze the valence and structure of material elements. When the above method conducts elemental state and structural test analysis of the material, the material must be directly exposed to the atmospheric environment during the transfer process, which will cause contamination to the surface elements to be analyzed on the material, affecting the accuracy of the analysis results. Therefore, it is necessary to design a test system that integrates atomic oxygen and ultraviolet radiation environment, high and low temperature environment, and vacuum environment, and can realize automatic transfer of materials in different vacuum environments, and can travel back and forth between the space environment simulation test chamber, thermal control performance test chamber, and XPS analysis chamber many times. This is of great significance for studying the structural evolution behavior and performance change laws of thermal control coating materials in a low-orbit environment. Summary of the invention
