Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic materials charging in magnetospheric plasmas may be predicted based on material properties that define capacitance, conduction, and emission for the surface, and on plasma species, temperatures and densities. This report summarizes results obtained using MATCHG, a program that embodies the basic formulations of the NASCAP program without the 3-dimensional (3-D) complexities. Plasma temperature and material property variation effects on surface potentials are considered. A graphical procedure for predicting voltage response from the general no bulk conductivity characteristics is presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As commercial and military spacecraft become more important to the world's economy and defense, and as new scientific and exploratory missions are launched into space, the need for a single comprehensive resource on spacecraft charging becomes increasingly critical. Fundamentals of Spacecraft Charging is the first and only textbook to bring together all the necessary concepts and equations for a complete understanding of the subject. Written by one of the field's leading authorities, this essential reference enables readers to fully grasp the newest ideas and underlying physical mechanisms related to the electrostatic charging of spacecraft in the space environment. Assuming that readers may have little or no background in this area, this complete textbook covers all aspects of the field. The coverage is detailed and thorough, and topics range from secondary and backscattered electrons, spacecraft charging in Maxwellian plasmas, effective mitigation techniques, and potential wells and barriers to operational anomalies, meteors, and neutral gas release. Significant equations are derived from first principles, and abundant examples, exercises, figures, illustrations, and tables are furnished to facilitate comprehension. Fundamentals of Spacecraft Charging is the definitive reference on the physics of spacecraft charging and is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate-level students, and professional space researchers.

This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An improved specification of the plasma environment has been developed for use in modeling spacecraft charging. It was developed by statistically analyzing a large part of the LANL Magnetospheric Plasma Analyzer (MPA) data set for ion and electron spectral signature correlation with spacecraft charging, including anisotropies. The objective is to identify a relatively simple characterization of the full particle distributions that yield an accurate predication of the observed charging under a wide variety of conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to the modern body of spacecraft charging knowledge—from first principles for the beginner to intermediate and advanced concepts The only book to blend the theoretical and practical aspects of spacecraft charging, Guide to Mitigating Spacecraft Charging Effects defines the environment that not only creates the aurora, but which also can have significant effects on spacecraft, such as disruption of science measurements and solar arrays from electrostatic discharge (ESD). It describes in detail the physics of the interaction phenomenon as well as how to construct spacecraft to enhance their survivability in the harsh environment of space. Combining the authors' extensive experience in spacecraft charging—and in their provision of design support to NASA, JPL, the commercial satellite market, and numerous other projects—this incredible book offers both a robust physics background and practical advice for neophytes in the field and experienced plasma physicists and spacecraft engineers. In addition to containing numerous equations, graphs, tables, references, and illustrations, Guide to Mitigating Spacecraft Charging Effects covers: Solar cell technology, especially higher voltage arrays, and the new design approaches that are appropriate for them Information about the space plasma environment New analytic computer codes to analyze spacecraft charging Spacecraft anomalies and failures which emphasized designs that are of greater importance than others

Book excerpt: The geosynchronous environment is the most important region in the magnetosphere for spacecraft charging because the plasma temperature can be very high; the plasma density is sometimes very low, and most communications satellites are there. It is now well understood that, for a given surface material, there exists a critical plasma temperature above which spacecraft charging to negative potentials occurs. High energy (MeVs) electrons and ions penetrate into material to different depth. At energies below 100 MeV, electrons penetrate deeper than ions, and may remain in a deep layer, causing a high electric field. High energy "killer electrons" can cause deep dielectric charging and spacecraft anomalies. Studies of correlations of coronal mass Ejections, and exo-events, when a satellite gets outside of the magnetosphere are needed. Spacecraft used for planetary studies can also be affected. More study is also needed to determine whether surface charging or deep dielectric charging is more damaging to satellites.
