This paper will examine contaminating fluxes from the ambient atmospheric molecules observed in the wake region of presently planned spacecraft (e.g. Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF)) in order to help determine the vacuum levels which may be utilized by an experiment mounted on the 'lee' portion of the vehicle.
