Abstract: UV radiation is one of the main factors that cause the degradation of non-metal materials on the external surface of satellites. The material must be sufficient evaluated for UV radiation effect before it can be used in space. Due to UV irradiation test acceleration factor can not be too large (near-UV does not allow more than 5 times), achieving the full life UV exposure dose of the material on-orbit through ground test will take too long time. In this paper, the degradation law and degradation mechanisms of typical spacecraft functional materials under UV irradiation are introduced. The modeling method of material degradation under UV irradiation are then proposed. This provides an effective mean to solve the evaluation of functional spacecraft material degradation under high dose UV radiation.

Key words: ultraviolet radiation, functional materials, simulation test, degradation law, performance prediction
