Carbon-Carbon (C-C) is a special class of composite materials in which both the reinforcing fibers and matrix materials are made of pure carbon. ...The use of high conductivity fibers in C-C fabrication yields composite materials that have high stiffness and high thermal conductivity. The primary thermal function of the EO-1 CCR is to readiatoe the 27.8 watts generated by the EO-1 Power Supply Electronics (PSE) and the 16.3 watts (peak power) generated by the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array/Atmospheric Corrector (LEISA/AC) electronics boxes.

These technologies include carbon composites substrates as well as Optical Solar Reflectors (OSRs), a lithium based white paint, and electrochromic thin films for optical coatings.
