Processing steps
Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes
#1 before layer formation 1995-11-12 fluid physical several freeze-thawn cycles of liquid H2O under dynamic primary vacuum (pumping) removing of air and some CO2 gas
#2 before layer formation 1995-11-12 fluid physical evaporation at ~20°C of liquid H2O from liquid to gas phase
#3 during layer formation 1995-11-12 layer formation low flux of room temperature H2O gas deposited at 33.2K under vacuum from gas phase to solid amorphous Ia ice phase
