Techniques for assessment and control of the contamination environment for both particulates and condensible vapors in the vicinity of spacecraft are developed. An analysis of the deposition rate on critical surfaces is made considering sources within the line of sight of the surface in question as well as those obscured from the line of sight. The amount of contamination returned by collision with the surrounding atmosphere is estimated. Scattering and absorption from the induced atmosphere of gases and particulates around the spacecraft are estimated. Finally, design techniques developed for Skylab to reduce the contamination environment to an acceptable level are discussed. (Author)
