All PLU-4 MLI was scanned ny eye, and image data recorded by CCD camera, as for all other surfaces.  Hole diameters were measured on the computer monitor.

The data presented is taken from measuring the impact from the best image magnification and a representative image accompanies the data. The MLI covers all the payload unit and as such only certain impact sites are located on the peripheral faces of SFU. To this end the table lists the impact sites as a function of peripheral face (i.e. radial pointing direction out of SFU), and other indicating field of view not determined. For flux calculations the peripheral data is the most pertainent.
