Download or read book Quadrupole Ion neutral Mass Spectrometer for Space Shuttle Applications written by Donald Edward Hunton and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Quadrupole Ion/Neutral Mass Spectrometer (QINMS) was developed for the fourth flight of the Space Shuttle in June and July of 1982. Several additional instruments have been built for other programs using the same design. The instruments are designed to measure the neutral and positive ion composition in the vicinity of the Space Shuttle or similar satellites. Other experimental capabilities include the measurements of total neutral pressure, total ion density, and species kinetic energy distributions. This report describes in detail the design and construction of the QINMS instruments, the integration requirements, ground testing and calibration procedures, typical flight operations, and finally, data requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes in the neutral gas composition surrounding the Space Shuttle caused by the Shuttle's Vernier Reaction Control System (VRCS) and Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) rocket engines were measured with a quadrupole mass spectrometer aboard STS-4. There are substantial differences between the measured composition changes in the payload bay and the calculated composition of the thruster exhaust plumes. These differences can be explained by kinematic effects that occur as the exhaust products collide with surfaces and other gas phase species in the Shuttle environment. Hydrogen, because of its light mass, is enriched in the return flux to the spacecraft, and tends to permeate the Shuttle environment during thruster firings more easily than heavier species. The effect of the thruster firings on the mass spectrometer also depended on the attitude of the instrument with respect to the velocity vector. When the mass spectrometer was pointed into the velocity vector, decreases in atomic oxygen concentration were detected during the engine firings.
