effect of ISS Service module roll thrusters on structural elements and exterior surfaces. During
the 4 stages of the Kromka space experiment, the assumptions on the mechanisms of FORP
emissions from attitude thruster nozzles into the surrounding area were confirmed, which
were determined based on the results of experiments in pressure chambers using actual
thrusters and simulated nozzles.
