The developments in research conducted in China on atomic oxygen simulators, simulated space environment testing and methods for protection from space environment are reviewed. Principles and performance of atomic oxygen facilities in China (oxygen plasma ashing, directional oxygen plasma, energetic atomic oxygen with microwave or with laser), simulated space environment testing results, methods for protection from space environment that include the use of nano-particles, PVD, CVD and Sol–gel chemical modification processes are discussed. The preliminary results of atomic oxygen and its effects flight detection are described briefly. Future work in China in this area is suggested. |
