Adaptable Coating
A new technology, called electro-chromatic film, turns spacecraft skin into a heat-regulating system by shifting its color when an electric current passes through. With a positive charge, the coating darkens and can absorb heat from the sun. A negative voltage lightens the shade, increasing its reflectivity. |
