Orbit (LEO) environment (180-650 km ): rich in atomic oxygen,
which degrades polymeric materials (such as Kapton, Mylar or
Teflon) used in satellites. May erode certain polymers by over 2
µm in 90 days. Oxygen resistant polymers could improve the
lifetime of satellites and space stations and could find many
applications in space, including huge fold-up antennas, inflatable
mirrors \& lenses, solar sails.",
