What is golden foil?

The golden foil is the Multi Layer Insulation. It’s called Multi Layer Insulation (MLI for short), and it does just what it says – it’s a multi-layer system designed to insulate the satellite or spacecraft. These layers are usually made of polyimide or polyester films (types of plastics), coated with very thin layers of aluminum.
