Generic question on space based adhesives, is there a standard type used in space applications for hardware that is exposed to the suns rays?

Being one step more specific, has anyone experience bonding Hexcel honeycomb to any Microwave transparent dielectric skin for use in space applications, and if so which skin and which adhesive was used.

I am using Hexcel HR-310 with a Rogers 6002 type Teflon based thin skin material but will likely change the Rogers material to a Mylar/polyimide Dupont Pyralux. An adhesive suggestion (room temp cure preferred) for this space application would be appreciated.

Thanks,
kch
