摘要: The open-source mass spectrometer will be used to obtain the number densities of neutral atmospheric gases in range 1 48 amu at satellite location. ion source has been designed allow gas particles enter ionizing region with minimum practicable prior collisions surfaces. This design minimizes loss atomic oxygen and other reactive species due reactions walls source. principal features laboratory calibration system are discussed.
