An experiment to create and characterize an ultra-vacuum environment in low earth orbit is being developed. A wake region is known to form behind a satellite in low earth orbit. Limited theoretical and experimental results for flowfields around spacecraft are available and a brief discussion of these results is presented. The space experiment package to create an ultra-vacuum condition in the wake region is referred to as the Wake Shield Facility (WSF), manifested for flight on the Space Shuttle in 1993. In the vacuum region, epitaxial thin-films will be processed by molecular and chemical beam epitaxial growth techniques. Various particle flowfield and materials processing considerations for this experiment are presented.
