ULTRAVIOLET EFFECTS ON SPACE VEHICLE OPERATION IN ULTRAHIGH VACUUM ENVIRONMENT MARCH 22, 1961 TO SEPTEMBER 22, 1961

Abstract

Analytical studies and experimental results are presented to show the gross effect of extreme uv radiation (1100 to 1850 angstroms) on materials in ultrahigh vacuum. Experimental results on the irradiation of selected metals, plastics, and paints, indica ed that the effec s of 1100 to 1850 angstrom radi tion upon materials are small and are similar to effects caused by uv radiation of longer wavel gths. Only the high quantum yields for photo-emission are unique for the extreme ultraviolet range. (Author)
