With aluminium tethers having thermal emissivity as low as 0.03 at a temperature of 300 K, over the entire spectrum, they present inadequate heat dissipation in the termal infrared region. A nanostructured coating with high thermal-emissivity and high conductivity, as compared to Al and Al2O3 respectively, is being developed in the present work for tethers exposed to the hard conditions at Jovian operation. date_type: completed date: 2017-09 event_title: European Planetary Science Congress 2017 event_location: Riga, Estonia event_dates: 17-22 Sep 2017 event_type: conference institution: Espacio department: Fisica_2014 book_title: EPSC European Planetary Science Congress citation: Montero, Isabel and Sanmartín Losada, Juan Ramón (2017).
