The relative ionization probabilities of laser-detonation hyperthermal O, O2, and Ar components in Ar+O2 mixed molecular beams were evaluated for investigation of the effect of the space environment. In a high-energy beam, the complete decomposition of O2 was observed from the time-of-flight (TOF) spectra, which was due to high-energy collisions between O2 and Ar. Relative ionization probabilities of O and O2 of 0.27 and 0.79, respectively, with respect to Ar were evaluated by assuming the complete decomposition of O2 in the beam. These values can be applied in studies on the effect of the space environment in the sub-low Earth orbit region where simultaneous hyperthermal N2 and O bombardment should be simulated.

The materials used in the exterior surfaces of spacecraft encounter severe erosion due to hyperthermal (8 km/s) collisions with chemically reactive O-atoms, which are the major composition of the Earth's upper atmosphere. Laser-induced plasma has been used to simulate these atom/surface reactions in the ground-based facilities. A 5-7 J/pulse CO 2 laser is used to form intense hyperthermal O-atom pulses. The configuration of the apparatus resembles LPP EUV sources, and strong EUV emission is observed as side products. We explain the material degradation phenomena in space by hyperthermal collisions with O-atoms and the current status of ground-based studies using laser-induced plasma.
