The Interactions of Contamination Products with the Space Environment: In-Situ Electron Spectroscopy Studies of UV-Irradiated Silicones

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking SOREQ Nuclear Research Center as follows: The contractor shall investigate the exposure of spacecraft materials to a simulated low earth orbit environment. The contractor will expose self-prepared silicon polymer samples to a controlled environment of atomic oxygen and UV radiation in their test facility. After each exposure the contractor will use electron spectroscopy to determine the material degradation. The contractor will be paid $5,000 after receipt and acceptance of an initial test plan and the remaining $10,000 after receipt and acceptance of the final report, due 7 months after starting the effort.
