The primary objective of the International Space Station (ISS) program is to provide a platform for scientific experiments in low Earth orbit. The ISS external contamination environment is critical to the capabilities of Space Station payloads, as well as the performance of contamination sensitive surfaces on the vehicle. This paper focuses on the ISS external contamination environment, outlining the external contamination control requirements and summarizing the methodology and procedures to ensure the delivery of the specified environment to Space Station payloads.
