The national system management and Radio Electronics University of Tomsk, Russia, and the aerospace materials company of Russian space agency are jointly developing a new coating capable of resisting various kinds of outer space radiation The new coating is mainly barium sulfate, and its solar radiation absorption coefficient is very low Scientists say the main task is to ensure that the new coating is highly resistant to all kinds of radiation in outer space Other coatings of the optical solar reflector type can absorb up to 20% of the solar energy, while barium sulfate based coatings only absorb 7% to 10% of the solar energy, the researchers said At present, the research team has started to study the coating manufacturing process, and then will carry out experimental testing of new materials on the simulator of outer space conditions, and plans to put the technology into application from 2020 Previously, Russian cosmonaut Sergei prokopiev said that in the process of deep space exploration on Mars or the moon in the future, the radiation impact may be one of the difficult tests facing the research team People should think about how to avoid radiation in the process of deep space flight.
