Elastic scattering cross sections have been calculated for the O(3P)+O(3P) collision at energies E=1-10eV using exact quantum calculations and the semiclassical Jeffries-Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation with the full set of 18 states of O2 which separate to this system. These cross sections are required for calculating escape probability from planetary atmospheres. In addition, an average potential has been calculated and compared to popularly used potential energy forms. The average potential has also been used to generate the cross sections in this energy range. Escape depths for /E=1 and 10 eV have been calculated to be 1.0×1015 and 2.5×1014/cm2, respectively.
