Analysis of surfaces from the LDEF A0114, phase 4

Progress made from 1 Mar. to 31 Aug. 1991 is presented. The work concentrated on profilometry measurements of eroded and corroded sample surfaces, optical transmission measurements, analysis of the pinhole camera, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis of some samples. The following papers are presented: (1) observation of Be-7 on the surface of the Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF) Spacecraft; (2) measurement of the passive attitude control performance of a recovered spacecraft; (3) effects on LDEF exposed copper flim and bulk; (4) measurements of erosion characteristics for metal and polymer surfaces using profilometry; (5) the interactions of atmospheric cosmogenic radionuclides with spacecraft surfaces; (6) pinhole cameras as sensors for atomic oxygen in orbit; and (7) interaction of atomic oxygen with solid surfaces in low earth orbit- results from LDEF experiment A0114.
