An atomic oxygen facility for studying polymer materials for spacecraft applications
Abstract
A nozzle beam facility utilizing microwave discharge on a helium carrier gas seeded with oxygen to produce atomic oxygen fluxes of the order of 10 to the 15th power atoms/cu cm/sec is described. In addition, limited test results obtained from exposing a graphite/epoxy composite and Kapton (H) film are presented in terms of mass loss measurements and changes in surface morphology.
