Bombardment of vacuum chamber walls by an electron gun within the chamber achieves greater efficiency with less cost. The ultimate vacuum reached using the gun is greater than the system design level.
Proton bombardment damage to single crystal germanium
The solar wind is described and its effects on surfaces are reviewed. Experimental results are given for materials subjected to simulated solar-wind bombardment. Among the effects discussed are sputtering-type erosion, chemical reaction with paint vehicles and reduction of oxide pigments, and production of lunar-surface optical characteristics in a basalt powder.

The efficiency of the electron-bombardment thrustor is approaching the maximum that can be expected. Desired lifetimes (of the order of 10,000 hr) have not yet been reached, but present knowledge indicates such lifetimes should be obtainable, The simplicity of this thrustor makes it interesting as an ion source for various laboratory experiments. Various gases have been used to determine the ion-chamber and accelerator performance for such applications.
