Abstract

See full text

A method for computing self-contamination processes of a spacecraft by means of a data processing device comprising the following steps: receiving a first set of input parameters comprising general definitions of the spacecraft, receiving a second set of input parameters comprising control parameters for the spacecraft orbital data, physics, numeric, and a predetermined accuracy requirement of the computation, computing a self-contamination process of the spacecraft based on the received first and second sets of input data by either evaluating the analytical solution of a basic equation of emission or numerically solving the basic equation of emission for calculating a deposit of molecules outgassed from surfaces of the spacecraft with a numerical solver with the data processing device, wherein the numerical solver applies an adaptive stepsize control based on the preset accuracy requirement of the computation, and outputting the calculated deposit.
