Impacts of particles create paths for corrosion by monatomic oxygen. Report describes experiments to determine effects of monatomic oxygen on reflectors damaged by hard particles. Applies to reflectors for solar dynamic power systems in low orbit around Earth, where neutral monatomic oxygen major constituent of atmosphere. Species highly corrosive and attacks variety of materials.
