A new polymer polyimide possessing optical and mechanical properties potentially suitable for space applications now exists. A preliminary evaluation of the material indicates that in its present state of development, the polyimide is not ready for space qualification. Further efforts to increase molecular weight and purify the consituents used to synthesize it are warranted. Activities addressing these needs are now being pursued. If these approaches prove successful, additional testing will take place with an emphasis on synergistic effects.
