Experiment Description:In the past, the Matra Optical Division has developed a wide range of optical components manufactured by vacuum deposition, such as metallic and multidielectric reflective coatings in the UV range, metal-dielectric interference filters in the UV (down to 1100 Angstroms) and IR ranges, narrow bandpass filters in the near-UV and visible ranges, selective metallic mirrors in the range from 1500 to 2500 Angstroms, antireflective and reflective IR coatings, beam splitters in the visible and IR ranges, and optical surface reflection (OSR) coatings. Many of these components, some of which were the first of this type to be manufactured in the world (e.g., interference filters at Lyman alpha), have been incorporated into scientific and technical experiments flown on balloons and rockets as well as on Symphonie, Meteosat, OTS, D2-B, TIROS N, and others. These components appear to have operated successfully in flight, but detailed information concerning their long-term behavior is not available.
