Question

Which property of diamonds make it useful for making protective windows of space crafts?

Answer 1

Diamond, an allotrope of carbon, has a high thermal conductivity. Heat moves through diamond like a rocket compared to other stuff like aluminum or copper. That's called thermal conductivity. A laser can be used in a special carbon rich atmosphere to cause a diamond film to "plate out" and "coat" a surface. On a finished product, the diamond-coated surface now conducts heat away from sensitive or highly heat loaded components quickly so it can be radiated away from the spacecraft.
