Abstract

The degradation of satellite thermal control and optical surfaces due to deposition of various contaminants emanating from the spacecraft has become an increasing concern in the design for a satellite of long-term missions. The radiativetransfer through an absorbing and scattering film on a substrate cannot be readily determined by the more exact analysis based on the Maxwell equations. A study has been conducted for the radiative characteristics of solid cryodeposit by use of the energy method. This method is based on an approximate analysis which neglects the wave interference effect but considers the multiple internal reflection of the incident beam. Preliminary results based on this analysis in the prediction of transmittance. attenuation in an optical system due to cryocontamination agree well with measured attenuation data [1].
