At NASA Lewis Research Center, micrometeoroid impact was simulated by accelerating micron-size particles to h> pervelocities. Any changes in the optical properties of surfaces exposed to this impact were then evaluated. The degradation of optical pro

The Space Electric Rocket Test-II (SERT II) spacecraft, launched in 1970 for a 1-yr mission as a test bed for an ion thruster system, continued to function as a working spacecraft through May 1981. As a result, an opportunity existed to obtain extens

The SERT II spacecraft, containing two 15-cm-diam mercury electron bombardment ion thrusters, was launched February 3, 1970. One thruster operated for 5 months of the 6month mission goal. The over-all thruster efficiency 0.68 remained constant; the s

Future missions, both station keeping and primary electric propulsion, will require multiple thruster restarts after periods of inactivity from a few hours to over one year. Although not a part of the original SERT II (Space Electric Rocket Test) fli

Orbit precession returned the SERT II spacecraft to continuous sunlight in January 1979 for the first time since early 1972, and new experiments were planned and conducted. Neutralization of an ion beam was accomplished by a second neutralizer cathod
