This induced environment consists of particles and gases which emanate from the spacecraft in orbit and form the 'contamination cloud'. The presence of the cloud can present certain problems connected with scattering effects and the deposition of condensibles on optical surfaces. Measures taken to investigate these effects involved the placement of quartz crystal microbalance deposition monitors at certain locations to determine molecular film build-up during the flight.
