The purpose of this report is to present a breakdown surface model for evaluating thermal backscattering flow from the supersonic exhaust plume of a gaseous mixture of H, HF, H2, DF and He. Fluxes of these species are considered separately. The model is carefully analyzed and is shown to overestimate the flux. Actual flux levels of the heavy corrosive molecules (HD, DF) have been found to be exceedingly low. It is concluded that the contribution of thermal backscattering to contaminating flux of HF and DF can be neglected.
