What is Atomic Oxygen Effects on Spacecraft Materials about?
Atomic oxygen bombardment in low earth orbit causes significant degradation, erosion, and contamination of spacecraft materials. The bombardment initiates chemical and physical reactions that penetrate materials, etching and eroding polymers. Even thin metal layers with pinholes allow cavities to form in polymers underneath from atomic oxygen. Protective coatings must be applied to spacecraft to prevent atomic oxygen damage and allow spacecraft to last as long as needed. Common protective films are thin met
