Abstract:In the field of failure analysis and in particular molecular and particulate contamination, being able to detect any trace of contaminants during the integration of an orbital spacecraft is crucial. In this context, fluorescence allows not only to detect but also to discriminate contaminants. We studied the fluorescence response of two epoxy adhesives, typical sources of spacecraft contamination in orbit with a portable broadband hyperspectral instrument (UV-Vis-NIR) developed in collaboration with the CNES an… Show more
