Download or read book Fundamentals of Spacecraft Charging written by Shu T. Lai and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 270 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Charging of Spinning Spacecraft by : Allen G. Rubin
Download or read book Charging of Spinning Spacecraft written by Allen G. Rubin and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become possible to calculate the effects of spin rate on charging only since the advent of the NASCAP three-dimensional computer simulation code. These spin effects are surveyed here for the first time. There is not only a dramatic difference in potential distribution between a three-axis stabilized and a spinning satellite, but also the case of slow spin at 1 rpm is shown to constitute a distinct intermediate case, asymptotic to the rapid spin case but with appreciable voltage modulation around the spin equator. (Author).

Book Synopsis High-level Spacecraft Charging Environments Near Geosynchronous Orbit by : E. G. Mullen
Download or read book High-level Spacecraft Charging Environments Near Geosynchronous Orbit written by E. G. Mullen and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High-level spacecraft charging events in sunlight are discussed and statistically analyzed to determine environmental parameters critical to charging and the region of space near geosynchronous altitude where charging occurs. Significant levels of spacecraft charging are shown to occur only between 1900 LT and 0900 LT at any altitude or latitude of the SCATHA satellite orbit. High-level charging is shown to occur only during periods when the magnetic activity index is 2+ or greater. Distribution functions of energetic electrons and ions are presented for 3 high-level charging periods on days 114, 241 and 363, 1979. Moments of the distribution functions are determined, and fitting techniques used to derive two-Maxwellian densities and temperatures are discussed. Results are provided in a format usable in satellite design specifications.
Book Synopsis Spacecraft Charging at Geosynchronous Altitudes by : Jose T. Harris
Download or read book Spacecraft Charging at Geosynchronous Altitudes written by Jose T. Harris and published by . This book was released on 2003-03-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spacecraft charging threatens to disable spacecraft components and adversely impact any satellite function. Electrostatic charge, and especially discharge, can hinder the proper operation of, or destroy, spacecraft components, thereby rendering the spacecraft ineffective or inoperative. The level of charging is dependent on the particle energy (speed) distribution. Current spacecraft design and material provide limited protection against the dangers of electrostatic discharge, and active measures such as beam emission are also employed.

Book Synopsis Spacecraft Charging Model by : P. Tsipouras
Download or read book Spacecraft Charging Model written by P. Tsipouras and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ambient plasma environment at geosynchronous orbit is assumed to be represented by a two-component Maxwell-Boltzmann particle distribution. Given this, the equations for ambient electron and ion currents to the spacecraft are easily integrated. Likewise, the secondary and backscattered currents can be expressed as integrals. The potential at which the currents balance gives the potential between the spacecraft and ambient plasma. The model is compared with actual data from ATS-5 and is found to agree within plus or minus 1, 200 V over a range of 0 to minus 10,000 V. The model is readily applicable to the simple environmental model of Garrett and DeForest (1979) and can be calibrated to any given satellite. Simple algorithmic expressions are also developed for the backscattered and secondary currents as a function of temperature and potential which promise a significant decrease in computer time without a significant loss in accuracy.
