Abstract
The investigations and tests on atomic oxygen (AO) interaction with spacecraft materials are
reviewed in this paper.The basic mechanism of AO interaction with spacecraft materials and its effect on materials performance are briefly discussed-After providing a list of materials susceptible to the low earth orbit environment,the degradation mechanisms of spacecraft materials are also examined.
