A set of computer models developed at Boeing have been used to define the atomic oxygen and solar ultraviolet radiation environments around LDEF. These computer codes have been transferred to Langley; the creation of codes and accompanying users' guides was funded by NASA.

Contractor reports detailing the atomic oxygen and solar exposures as functions of time and location on LDEF have also been published:

1. "Atomic Oxygen Exposure of LDEF Experiment Trays", NASA Contractor Report 189627, May 1992.

2. "Solar Exposure of LDEF Experiment Trays", NASA Contractor Report 189554, February 1992.

The following series of databases, available through the SETAS/LDEF Archive Office, were funded by the Materials and Systems Special Investigation Groups. The databases are discussed in the LDEF Materials Databases section.

• 1) Anodized Aluminum
• 2) Thermal Control Paints
• 3) Silverized Teflon
• 4) Optical Materials
• 5) LDEF Environmental Exposures
