活动简介

This conference addresses how contamination affects system performance, science data results, and instrument and spacecraft design. While the primary emphasis is on molecular and particulate contamination of spaceborne instruments and spacecraft, contamination also affects the performance of nanodevices, biomedical or electronic devices, storage media, and active optical systems.

Contaminants on the surface of optical elements and in the field-of-view of sensors degrade optical system performance. Contaminant-induced surface scatter can reduce off-axis rejection capability. Absorption by surface deposits can reduce optical throughput and contaminants in the field-of-view can attenuate signals and increase sensor background. Surface contaminants can also degrade the optical properties of radiative thermal control surfaces.

The scope of the conference includes contamination modeling and analysis, optical calibration, on-orbit instrument calibration, performance and characterization, launch venting, space environmental effects, and methods to control contamination. Papers concerning contamination issues for spacecraft, spaceborne instruments, nanodevices, semiconductors, high-energy lasers, and astronomical observatories are of particular interest. Papers addressing on-orbit performance of launched spacecraft and instruments are also encouraged.

With the current and upcoming Mars, asteroid, and other planetary missions, topics associated with planetary protection will also be addressed.
