    You can buy Kapton for several uses, one is as a heatproof electrical insulator, another as tape to seal a flue. The maximum temperature is about 400 degreesC. That's quite hot.
    I enquired at an open day in Houston with prototype satellites on display and that's all that's used. It's a polyimide film offered originally by Dupont.

    Well I read up on the Japanese Cargo Vehicle. It does have solar cell panels to power one rechargeable battery. There are also two nonrechargeable batteries. I guess these cargo vessels can be prepositioned and left in space for a while. There is a lot of electronics; autopilot, radio, laser radar, etc.. It is a shame to turn all that expensive equipment into a refuse container full of astronaut poop and food wrappers.

    Of course it's brown, it's JAPANESE. (;->)
