Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 2011
Abstract
Main areas of Skobeltsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics Moscow State University activities in study of space environment effect on materials are following: effect of space radiation on spacecraft materials and equipment elements, spacecraft charging in space plasma in various orbits, influence of atomic oxygen flux on materials in LEO, surface erosion and destruction under impact of micrometeoroids and small particles of space debris.
The methods of computer and laboratory modeling used are described. Results of the researches are presented, as far as some experiments onboard the MIR station and ISS are described. Principle problems for contemporary and future research are proposed for discussion. Principle problems for contemporary and future research are proposed for discussion.
