Abstract
A spacecraft includes a spacecraft element, such as a deployable antenna, and a black paint on the spacecraft element. The paint has a composition of 100 parts by weight of a methyl phenyl silicone-based polymer, and from about 1.35 to about 3.5 parts by weight of an electrically conductive carbon pigment having a porous, sponge-like structure. The paint is applied by mixing these constituents with a solvent such as naphtha or xylene in an amount sufficient to permit the paint to be applied by a selected technique such as brushing or spraying.
