Problems solved by technology

[0005] Although the current ground simulation method has made great progress compared with the previous ones, there are still some problems: first, it can only simulate the environment with one or two factors, such as atomic oxygen, atomic oxygen + ultraviolet, etc.; second, The atomic oxygen beam flux (AO flux) obtained by various ground simulation methods is relatively low, generally 10 14 -10 15 atoms·cm -2 the s -1 , than the required flux of atomic oxygen beam by 10 16 atoms·cm -2 the s -1 1-2 orders of magnitude lower; again, the energy of atomic oxygen produced is low, and the energy of oxygen atoms is generally less than 1eV, that is, the energy of atomic thermal motion, which cannot reach the energy of atomic oxygen in the LEO environment--5eV
Research on compound effects of space environment is still in its infancy

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to special environment simulation technology, in particular to a method for simulating a low earth orbit space (low earth orbit, LEO) composite environment and a device used therefor. Background technique [0002] Since the discovery of the LEO space effect, various LEO environmental simulation devices have emerged in an endless stream. On the one hand, it verifies the existence of the LEO space environment effect; on the other hand, it opens up a new way to study the LEO space effect, which greatly reduces the research cost of the space effect. [0003] Factors in the LEO environment include atomic oxygen (AO), ultraviolet light, temperature cycles, and micrometeorites. Among them, atomic oxygen is the most important factor in the LEO environment. In recent years, the recombination effect of atomic oxygen + ultraviolet radiation has been proved to exist. Research on compound effects has been paid attention to. Since the compo...
