Under Construction

This page is intended to inform and update MSSL personnel of important contamination issues either at GSE/test level or at space flight level. The information provided here will be updated whenever a contamination issue is discovered, with recommendations and links to sources of information that may help resolve these problems. It is recommended that this page is visited regularly. Please let me know of any issues you wish to see covered here.

• Use of non flight (Tin, Zinc or Cadmium plated D sub) connectors in vacuum chambers
• Apiezon use on flight hardware
• Fluorescent light and its effect on UV/EUV optics
• Effects of relative humidity on NVR mass deposition
• Selection of flight resistors - resistor materials discussion
