Atomic oxygen is one of the important environmental factors in space. It affects material properties for many spacecraft systems. Due to the importance of atomic oxygen effect, on-board atomic oxygen sensors have been developed. These atomic oxygen sensors have to be calibrated by ground-based atomic oxygen facility. However, the atomic oxygen beam conditions in a ground-based facility and in space are not consistent. The difference should be taken into account in a calibration process of the sensors. In this report, we are going to mention the points for atomic oxygen sensor calibration using a laser detonation atomic oxygen beam source.
