Photochemically Deposited Contaminant Film Effects: Data Archive. Volume 1.

Abstract

Perhaps the most pernicious types of spacecraft contaminants are photochemically deposited ('solarized') molecular films. This report documents the results from a project aimed at improving control of thermo-optical effects of contamination in the design of spacecraft. Photodeposition results and analyses of the ultraviolet and visible transmission spectra of films from several organic precursor molecules are reported. The major differences among contaminant film types have been found to be in the initial photodeposition propensity, rather than in the ultimate optical properties of the films. Appendix A - Spectra and fit results from the bisphenol-A photo-deposit. Appendix B - Spectra and fit results for the DC704 photodeposit. Appendix C - Spectra and fit results for the DEHP photo-deposit. Appendix D - Spectra and fit results for the squalene photo-deposit. jg p3
