Title: Modeling correlation with flight data
Author(s): Ehlers, H. K. F.
Abstract: The molecular contamination flow model (space 2 program) predicts the induced environment of the space shuttle orbiter/payload on orbit as well as the induced gas flow between the orbiter and payload surfaces. This computer program relates the input parameters which characterize the time dependent status of the orbiter/payload to the required output parameters. An application of the model to data from space transportation system flights 1, 2, and 3 shows that the model correlates well for direct flow and for return flux (STS-2/H2O). Correlation for return flux from other molecular sources/species appears to be within expectations but more analysis is required. The space 2 model seems to be an adequate predictive tool.
