Satellites have come to play many roles depending on their purpose, including communication, weather observation, astronomy observation, and space development. A satellite requires long life and high reliability in such a situation. However, at an altitude of several hundred kilometers, atomic oxygen (AO) is a destructive factor. With density of about 10 15 atoms / m 3 , AO also has high reactivity. As the satellite collides with AO, surface materials of the satellite are degraded, engendering surface roughness and oxidation. Accordingly, it is necessary to monitor the surface conditions.

    In this study, photoemission characteristics of several materials, such as metals, glasses, and polymers are measured using a deuterium lamp and band pass filters. The threshold energy for photoemission and the quantum efficiency were evaluated from those measurements. Consequently, for the investigated materials the threshold energies for photoelectron emission were found to be 4.9–5.7 eV. The quantum efficiency of metals is about 100 times higher than that of other samples. The quantum efficiency of PS that includes a benzene ring is several times higher than that of either PP or PTFE, suggesting that deteriorated materials emit large amounts of photoelectrons.
