Abstract

Micrometeoroids and artificial particles effect on space vehicle construction poses the task of physical parameters and chemical composition studying. Time-of-flight mass-spectrometers are used for these purposes. The mass-spectrometers parameters computing is based on definition of field potentials and ion movement in this field. Libman method is used for this computing.
