DRDs of this standard:

Coating qualification test plan: ECSS-Q-ST-70-17C(1February2018)AnnexA
Coating qualification test report: ECSS-Q-ST-70-17C(1February2018)AnnexB
Coating acceptance test report: ECSS-Q-ST-70-17C(1February2018)AnnexC

 


Scope

This standard specifies requirements for the durability testing of coatings most commonly used for space applications, i.e.:

  • Thin film optical coatings
  • Thermo-optical and thermal control coatings (the majority are paints, metallic deposits and coatings for stray light reduction)
  • Metallic coatings for other applications (RF, electrical, corrosion protection)

 

This standard covers testing for both ground and in-orbit phases of a space mission. This standard includes coatings within off-the-shelf items This standard specifies the types of test to be performed for each class of coating, covering the different phases of a space project (evaluation, qualification and acceptance).

 

This standard does not cover:

  • The particular qualification requirements for a specific mission
  • Specific functional testing requirements for the different coating classes
  • Test requirements for long term storage
  • Solar cell cover glass coatings
  • Surface treatments and conformal coatings applied on EEE parts

 

This standard may be tailored for the specific characteristic and constrains of a space project in conformance with ECSS-S-ST-00.
