Diagnostic Tools for Atomic Oxygen (A04)

• Subject Area: Fluid Mechanics
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 516238647

Project A04 will develop and refine diagnostic methods required for the quantitative measurement of atomic oxygen in the ground test facility of Project A03 and for future measurements in the actual VLEO environment. The measurement methods are based on a combination of optical diagnostics, mass spectrometry, and solid-state electrolyte sensors that have been or are being used in various experiments on sounding rockets, the International Space Station, and satellites.
