Introduction to simulation of upper atmosphere oxygen satellite exposed to atomic oxygen in low Earth orbitA brief review of atmospheric composition in low Earth orbit is presented. The flux of ambient atomic oxygen incident on a surface orbiting in this environment is described. Estimates are presented of the fluence of atomic oxygen to which satellite surfaces in various orbits are exposed.
