Abstract The threshold values of the annual fluence of atomic oxygen (F AO ≈ 1020 cm−2), as well as the ratios of the energy-flux density of vacuum ultraviolet radiation of the solar spectrum to the flux density of atomic oxygen (Φ ν /Φ AO ≈ 8 × 10−15 mJ) were determined, which are characterized the influence of the synergistic effect on the mass loss of Kapton-H, PM-A, and PM-1E polyimide films, which are spacecraft materials.
