抄録(英)
To improve the lifetime and performance of spacecraft in a low-earth-orbit, it is very important to investigate space environment effects on materials applied to spacecraft. In a low-earth-orbit, atomic oxygen greatly affects spacecraft surfaces. It is produced by dissociation of molecular oxygen by solar ultraviolet (UV) rays. For investigation of degradation mechanisms of exposed materials and for accumulation of experimental data, a space-environment exposure experiment was planned for use with the Russian Service Module (SM) and Exposed Facility of the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) of ISS. The exposure experiment at SM/MPAC&SEED has been completed. We are preparing the next experiment for JEM, which is scheduled for launch next year. Those experiments are expected to yield details of characteristic changes of exposed materials and mechanisms of their degradation by atomic oxygen, UV, and other radiation.
