Maintenance of contamination sensitive surfaces on board long-term space vehicles

In the current age, highly sensitive instruments are being flown on spacecraft, and questions of contamination have become important. The present investigation is concerned with the available approaches which can provide long-term protection for contamination sensitive surfaces. Aspects and sources of spacecraft contamination are examined, taking into account materials outgassing, particulates, propulsion system interaction, overboard venting, man-made and cosmic debris, and atomic oxygen/ambient atmosphere interaction. Suitable protection approaches provided by current technology are discussed, giving attention to aperture covers, a possibility for a retractable cover design, gaseous purges, options for prolonging the lifetime of the thermal control system, and plume shields. Some new possibilities considered are related to an early warning system for excessive amounts of contamination, a molecular/wake shield, and the use of atomic oxygen.

Multidisciplinary analysis and synthesis - Needs and opportunities

A comprehensive evaluation is conducted of structural analysis and synthesis opportunities which emerge through a multidisciplinary design program approach that simultaneously and interactively encompasses, in its determination of a given aircraft design, aerodynamics, structure, structural dynamics, materials, controls, and propulsion. In this way, it becomes possible to rapidly exploit technological advances in order to yield synergistic effects among configurational subsystems. The aircraft type presently considered as recipients of this treatment are commercial transports, high performance military aircraft, rotorcraft, and large space antennas, giving attention to common features among the multidisciplinary design tasks represented.
