This paper describes progress in the development of a new contamination prediction code, The Aerospace Satellite Contamination Model Evaluator (ASCME). This paper provides fitted parameters for Langmuire evaporation models of contaminants from 15 materials based upon kinetic testing according to the ASTM E1559-93 procedure. It is shown that the evaporation rate parameters, p1 and p2, derived from the E1559 TGA testing do not always agree with corresponding parameters calculated from published vapor pressure data. The uncertainty in extracting p1 and p2 parameters due to experimental scatter is estimated to be about ±5.6% and ±4%, respectively. It is demonstrated that m desorption profiles can vary significantly, depending upon the originating source material. It is shown that evaporation rate parameters depend strongly on the test method, static vs. kinetic.
This paper provides a progress report on the development of a new contamination prediction code, the Aerospace Satellite Contamination Model Evaluator (ASCME). In this development, we intend to exploit the growing ASTM E1559 database for outgassing and desorption measurements and to incorporate realistic physical and kinetic models of condensation and photochemical deposition.
