The Shuttle/Payload Contamination Evaluation (SPACE) computer program was designed to three dimensionally synthesize the dynamics of the induced on-orbit molecular contaminant environment of the Shuttle Orbiter and a number of Spacelab payload carrier configurations. SPACE has the capability to accept any instrument or spacecraft configuration for contamination evaluation through manipulation of program input data. It represents a significant advancement over previous analytical or modeling techniques in that it is the first integrated systems level model of its type to collectively consider geometry (emphasizing surface shadowing), any arbitrary contaminant source(s) and the contaminant transport mechanisms of: (1) direct source-to-surface; (2) return flux due to molecular collisions with the ambient atmosphere and other contaminant molecules; and (3) reflection/reemission from structural surfaces.
