Comparison of Spacecraft Contamination Models with Well-Defined Flight Experiment

During this reporting period, the phase 1 interim report was written and submitted. Detailed computer models were used to predict exposure to atomic oxygen and solar ultraviolet radiation. ESCA survey measurements were started on the tray wall section cut from LDEF tray location EIO-3. At this time there are no technical issues impeding the progress of the required tasks. Cost are in line withn the percentage of completion of tasks. The expended budget is 18% of the total and the project is approximately 18% complete. During the next reporting period we will continue to analyze points from tray locations E10-3 and A4-1 using ESCA and auger surface analysis techniques and a detailed location map will be produced
