The paper discusses the molecular induced atmosphere of the Shuttle Orbiter and a payload carrier (Spacelab) configuration - long module and a 3-m pallet) in the Shuttle Orbiter payload bay and compares it to the ambient atmosphere at various orbital altitudes. The density and flux of the contaminants are expressed as a function of distance out of the payload bay for a line-of-sight perpendicular to the payload bay and payload carrier. Isodensity plots about the Shuttle Orbiter for a side and end view for each major source are presented. The major sources considered are the external surface materials mass loss, pressurized habitation area leakage, attitude control engines, and supplemental flash evaporator venting. The resulting plots provide an insight into the extent and spatial variation of the on-orbit contaminant-induced environment.
