Care should be taken in order to avoid any contamination sources in the design and construction of the fairings. Such sources as the outgassing of organic materials used in the design including fiberglass, heat-shielded fiberglass, etc. as well as the contamination with particulates always remains a problem when dealing with cleanliness issues. A special production process was designed to maintain the required cleanliness levels on the fabrication stage of the fairing. The developed process provided for the cleaning of separate parts and units and preservation of the reached level of cleanliness during the transportation and in-process storage. The requirements to the cleanliness and the developed methodology are described in this paper.
