This document contains summaries of the talks presented at a small NASA Conference on Thermal Radiation Problems in Space Technology held at the Langley Research Center on September 12 and 13, 1960. The conferees were NASA members and NASA contractors directly concerned with radiation characteristics of materials and with thermal problems of spacecraft. The purpose of the conference was not only to present significant research information but also to provide an opportunity for the conferees to become aware of each other's fields of interest, activities, techniques, and problems. As arranged herein, the first set of talks, mostly by the contractors, is concerned with surfaces and surface coatings, and with the determination of their pertinent characteristics. The second set of talks, mostly by NASA personnel, is concerned with spacecraft and their thermal problems.
