Contamination on LDEF sources: Distribution and history
Abstract
An overview description of contamination sources from preflight, mission, and post flight environments is presented. Examples of contamination events and processes from each stage of the LDEF mission are given. Infrared (IR) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data characterizing some of the contaminant films will be shown. Property changes on surfaces due to contaminant films, and post-deposition changes in the contaminant films due to the space environment will be reported.
