Description
Summary:Dr. Christopher Annesley of Air Force Research Laboratory RV gave a presentation at the December AIAA Albuquerque Section meeting. His work involves the study of the fundamental chemical dynamics of thruster plume species. The LaSR (Laser Spectroscopy and Reactivity) Lab studies plume species spec-troscopically to better understand chemical transformations that occur in the space environment. In one project they are studying VUV-induced UV fluorescence of chemical thruster plume species. To date, they have examined water photo-dissociation by 121.6 nm radiation to determine the rovibrational population distribution of OH(A) product.
