1 Solar Reflectance and Thermal Emittance Measurements with Field and Lab Instrumentation M. Martin Szczesniak James Jafolla Samuel Dummer

2 Established in 1976 to provide optical properties measurements to the military and aerospace industry. Played a major role in providing measurements to support the Optical Signature Code (OSC) used by the Ballistic Missile Defense Office in Huntsville, AL.

3 Core Expertise Optical Measurements Spectral Imagers Vacuum and Pigmented Coatings Reflectometers Analytical Modeling

4 Our mission is to supply highest quality instrumentation measuring optical properties of materials for research and commercial applications Reflectometers Group

5 Solar Reflectance, ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )* ( = ρ ρ d J d J d s The solar reflectance of the surface may therefore be written as J() is the solar irradiance function ρ d is directional reflectance the limits 1 and 2 are 300 nm and 2500 nm

6 Solar Irradiance Function Measured by NASA and other science organizations, published by ASTM

21 ASTM E1549 The portable solar reflectometer is calibrated using specimens of known solar reflectance to determine solar reflectance from measurements at four wavelengths in the solar spectrum: 380 nm, 500 nm, 650 nm, and 1220 nm. This technique is supported by comparison of reflectometer measurements with measurements obtained using Test Method E 903. D&S uses spectral bands and not the listed wavelength; it is very similar to the 410-Solar as far as it operation is concerned.

22 Compliance Is the current D&S model compliant with the ASTM E1549? If it is then The 410-Solar is also compatible, they use the same principles of physics to perform the measurements
