Abstract
NASA's Exo-S Starshade Mission plans to spectroscopically characterize exo-Earths orbiting stars in their "Goldilocks Zone" using an occulter (the "Starshade") to suppress starlight by 10^10. LUVOIR, HabEx and other missions may also depend on starshades. Other missions, such as LISA, critically depend on complete elimination of light scatter, as does the terrestrial LIGO. We report data on a family of novel, peelable, low-adhesion, residueless polymer coatings to clean and protect Starshade edges and other surfaces of importance to NASA, with uses ranging from fabrication to integration and testing to launch.
