Abstract There are a number of different ground-based facilities capable of producing atomic oxygen with fluxes similar to those found in orbit. The problem of using these sources to study and measure the resistance of a material to atomic oxygen is that the atomic oxygen beams typically have different kinetic energies, oxidation and quantum levels, as well as different fluxes. There may also be other species present such as VUV which may affect a material’s response to AO. Consequently for a given material, it is not surprising that different erosion yields are reported for exposures in different types of sources.
