Albedo seems to be Zero here! Alternatively it will have to operate outside the Mars orbitVantablack? Stylish, but possibly not the best choice for a spacecraft... You might have to upgrade the cooling system, and you will definitely have to fit bigger radiators ...
Stealth in space, maybe that's the idea.Gonna be really hard to see in space and on any dark body (most of ‘em).

But ultimately futile, I suspect. All the incoming radiation (plus anything generated on the ship) has to be re-emitted one way or the other. If not by direct reflection, then as black body radiation. You may need detectors for a longer wavelength band, but you'd still spot it.Stealth in space, maybe that's the idea.
You mean... it's like... A color from space?? Dun Dun DUUUUUH!TrES-2b so black that this color is unknown to mankind
