Recent Techniques for Insulation in Space Environment
Abstract
Weight and performance needs of space programs have given impetus to the use of new thermal isolation techniques. Uses are currently ranging from the control of thermal environment in spacecraft with internal energy releases and limiting temperature changes in static storable fuels to insulating cryogens in bulk for lone-term employment in space. Aspects of such applications are discussed in this paper.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Aluminized Mylar has about a hundredfold greater lateral than transverse conductance, and aluminum foil has about a 10^5 greater lateral-to-transverse conductance ratio.
“the hundredfold greater lateral than transverse conductance for aluminized Mylar, or, even worse, the 10⁵ greater ratio for aluminum foil”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
