Analysis has been performed for MAVEN mission. Due to the elliptical orbit, large pressure variations in orbit will be experienced, there is a need to understand how internal pressures change and the flux of gas from vents could potentially bias instrument measurements. Goal of this analysis is to predict the effect that atmospheric gases trapped and vented from spacecraft volumes could have on instrument measurements.
