Cryogenic Selective Surfaces

Completed NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Phase I project that modeled wavelength-selective surfaces capable of reflecting solar radiation while maximizing infrared emission for passive cooling in deep space. The Solar White concept targeted cryogenic storage of liquid oxygen and other fluids and passive operation of superconducting systems for radiation shielding and large-scale energy storage, with study dates 2015-07-01 through 2016-06-01.
