Initial priorities include building high-confidence internal capability for spacecraft coatings and finishes-including a production-transferable white-paint process-alongside polymerics/adhesives, thermal interface materials, and mechanical-joint characterization. Establish requirements and qualification methods for polymeric systems-including structural and thermal adhesives, epoxies, silicones, primers, sealants, potting compounds, thermal interface materials, gaskets, and bonded joints-covering surface preparation, cure control, inspection, thermal performance, and durability.
