Sheet glass Solar Glass 0787

Product Information As one of the harshest environments known to man, space demands materials and equipment that can perform under the most demanding conditions. An ECSS space-qualified material, SCHOTT® Solar Glass 0787 has been uniquely designed for these conditions, helping spacecraft to push the limits of human knowledge. Reliable protection against harmful radiation A cerium-doped material composition enables SCHOTT® Solar Glass 0787 to block harmful UV radiation that threaten spacecraft and the technology they rely upon. While blocking UV light, SCHOTT® Solar Glass 0787 still achieves a high transmittance in the visible spectrum of light up to near-infrared, without loss of transmittance from the effects of solarization. Flexible design to suit your mission SCHOTT’s decades of experience and expertise in glass manufacturing allows SCHOTT® Solar Glass 0787 to be produced in several different thicknesses directly drawn from the melting tank. This includes ultra-thin and flexible glass, cut into large sheets or custom sizes. Design opportunities are further enhanced with the availability of different coatings. Stable, protective and long-lasting SCHOTT® Solar Glass 0787 offers a range of technical advantages when used for space applications such as photovoltaic systems and optical solar reflectors. Transmittance across the spectrum from UV-A to near-infrared is excellent, while low wavelength UV and particle radiation are effectively blocked. Low solarization also ensures reliable performance during the lifetime of a mission, while a fire-polished surface and outstanding geometrical homogeneity add to its effectiveness.
