Contamination Overview (Cont)
In order to mitigate performance degradation of space flight hardware caused by contamination, a Contamination Control Program is established on the Mission. – Understand the design: what are the critical components, what are
their sensitivities, and their performance requirements– How can the S/C & instrument design help mitigate contamination– Establish a Contamination Control Program – Implement contamination control protocols– Clean, monitor, verify, and maintain cleanliness

• Particle– Obscuration– Absorption– Scattering– Mechanical Interference, sticking, clogging – systems and moving mechanisms– If conductive, shorting
• Molecular– Absorption (affects transmission, reflectance)– Scattering (dependent upon deposition pattern)– Sticking in mechanical mechanisms– Corrosion during ground operations can cause particulates

Introduction to Hardware Contamination Requirements
• Sensitive hardware and instruments drive contamination requirements – Not all hardware is sensitive to contamination, however all hardware still
possess contamination requirements in order to avoid cross-contamination• There are 2 main types of contamination requirements
on flight hardware:
– Surface cleanliness levels: • Molecular requirements- films, greases, skin oils• Particulate requirements- dust, debris, skin cells• Visibly Clean
– Outgassing requirements:• Bake-outs are required in order to meet molecular outgassing flux
levels

On-Orbit Effects of Particulate Contamination
On orbit, particle movement and redistribution mechanisms differ from those normally encountered on the ground– In space, there are fewer direct forces (wind,
air flow disturbances, movement) to move particles around
– In space, movement and redistribution are caused primarily caused by
• Launch ascent depressurization (Air rushes out of vents)• Greatly reduced gravitational forces (Everything “floats” -- No
hiding dirt under the carpet or in the corner!)• Absence of air pressure • Charging

On-Orbit Effects of Molecular Contamination
• On-Orbit molecular effects are more of a concern than particulate (molecular transport analysis)
• On the ground, Non-Volatile Residue (NVR) or Molecular Contamination deposits result from two phenomena– contact with a contaminated or contaminating surface or material — contact
transfer from fingerprints, adhesive tape, etc– condensation of airborne molecular organic contamination
• volatile (gaseous) organic hydrocarbons (VOC): paint, adhesives, machine lubricating greases
• On orbit, NVR / molecular films result when materials outgas from one surface and deposit on another, usually cooler, surface.
• Contaminants inside electronic boxes can outgas and exit through the vents and deposit on colder surfaces. This is induced more due to the vacuum of space.

Example of ambient air offgassingwww.glare-x-plus.com
Outgassing Requirements require hardware bakeouts in order to meet molecular flux levels. Molecular flux levels are derived through molecular transport
analysis based on field of view to sensitive components, chemical constituent of hardware, and the amount of outgassing species.

Material Mitigations
• Low Particulating (minimize / avoid bare aluminum, woven textiles, Velcro)
• Avoid materials detrimental to your sensitive components (Silicones, Helium)
• Minimize quantity of organics (minimize thickness, bond lines)
• Bakeout under vacuum to reduce outgassing

• Keep sources of organics out of line of sight of optics/inlets
• Get electronics out of optic cavities whenever possible
• Keep main apertures sealed • Isolate hazards from sensitive items (e.g.,
barriers, baffles, doors, covers, vents, etc.) and direct venting into non-sensitive areas
• On-Orbit Deployable Covers/Doors• Red-Tag Covers

• Venting– direct effluent away
from apertures/inlets– MLI flaps
• Minimize number of potential vents / unintentional vents; use directional venting
• Use molecular adsorbers • Seal Honeycomb Edges• Purge interface/Manifold
on S/C for T-0 purging
Other S/C Design Methodologies
SDO Vents/Adsorbersare also cost saving to reduce bakeout time

• Selection of Thermal Control Coatings– sources lower temperature than collectors (sensitive surfaces)– provisions to heat contaminated surfaces so they release
condensed contaminates (decontamination heaters)• UV
– avoid / minimize UV impingement (direct sun or albedo) on optics or surfaces in line of sight or near of optics/sensitive surfaces; darken optics
• Atomic Oxygen– avoid use of silicones in orbits with significant atomic oxygen – Design with enough material to meet errosion rate, e.g. Kapton,
Teflon• Plume / vents
– direct all thruster plume and backscatter away from sensitive surfaces
– use high purity fuel– Plume analysis determines impact

Establish Contamination Control Plan (CCP)General cleanliness should be maintained during
manufacturing and assembly• Parts should be cleaned prior to assembly and as they
become soiled• Components should be cleaned prior to becoming
inaccessible• Machining/Welding/Soldering/Abrading: Should include
vacuuming, wipe down• Lubricant/Cutting Oils: Excess should be wiped• Coatings Application: On a cleaned surfaces• Assembly should be done in a clean area where
possible and gloves should be worn

remove the inner bag in the cleanroom/cleantent.– Large items needing cleaning should be scheduled well ahead of time and
coordinated with Contamination Control.• Cleanroom paper must be used for all WOAs and papers entering a clean
area• Materials brought into the cleanroom shall be cleanroom compatible, if
uncertain, contact Contamination Control• Cleanroom doors and cleantent entrances should not be opened unless all

and on many materials can etch the surface causing permanent changes to the surface properties.
• Particles that reside on a surface for a long period of time are harder to clean off.
• No make-up, perfume, or after shave are allowed in the clean area• PEOPLE ARE DIRTY
