摘要: This letter documents testing done with radio frequency (RF) materials considered for liquid crystal (LC) reflectarray elements potential space applications. It includes studies of the impact space-simulated environmental conditions. Testing focused on thermal vacuum, electron and X-ray radiation, surface charging. Tests were performed individual candidate a final assembled LC RF element. summarizes findings tests to identify design obstacles transition printed
