This paper presents the result of the SOCRATES (Shuttle Orbiter Contamination Representation Accounting for Transiently Emitted Species) code which has been developed to assess the effects of contamination of measurements aboard spacecraft in low earth orbit. SOCRATES is a Monte Carlo code which includes in its present version scattering, collisions leading to kinetic-to-vibrational energy transfer, and reactive collisions. The application of this code to actual measurements aboard spacecraft in low earth orbit makes it possible to evaluate data obtained on these platforms with a view towards extracting the data of interest from contaminated signals.
