The Design of an Ion/Neutral Mass Spectrometer to be Used in the Shuttle Environment.

Abstract

This report discussed the development of instrumentation to be flown on the space shuttle. The instrument is a quadrapole mass spectrometer designed to measure preselected masses in the 1 AMU to 70 AMU region. A discussion of the various circuits will be included in this report along with a full set of schematics, drawings, wiring lists and sample control program.
