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 1985 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the major results from the SCATHA (P78-2) satellite charging monitors and discharge detectors. The data show that surface charging, near synchronous altitudes, occurs preferentially in the midnight to local morning sectors, as expected. Evidence for bulk charging by energetic electrons is also observed. The material-charging data show that there was a marked increase in bulk conductivity of solar-illuminated Kapton with exposure time in the space vacuum. Teflon accumulated a permanent charge that slowly increased with time, and a quartz cloth material charged to higher than expected levels; some of these material effects have now been simulated in the laboratory. The statistical picture of the surface charging and the resultant discharges and noise generation show a close association with each other. Some of the discharges are ascribed to possible bulk charging. The signal amplitudes of the discharges are discussed and the temporal character of the discharge signal is shown for a few cases. The results represent a new baseline in our understanding of satellite charging and its effects. Keywords include: Arcs; Discharges; Material charging; and Satellite charging.

Download or read book Onset of Spacecraft Charging in Single and Double Maxwellian Plasmas in Space: A Pedagogical Review written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews some recent advances in the onset of spacecraft charging. Current balance determines the spacecraft potential. The electron flux intercepted by an object in a plasma exceeds that of ions by orders of magnitude because of the ion-electron mass difference. Negative voltage charging occurs when the incoming electron flux exceeds the outgoing secondary and backscattered electron flux. The secondary electron emission coefficient depends on the surface material, typically exceeds unity at about 40 to-1800 eV of primary electron energy, and falls below unity at higher energies. Beyond a critical temperature T*, the incoming electron flux exceeds that of the secondary electrons, thereby negative charging occurs. Scarce evidence of T* was observed on ATS-5 and ATS-6 satellites. Recently, abundant evidence was observed on the Los Alamos National Laboratory geosynchronous satellites. The existence of T* enables accurate prediction of spacecraft charging onset. In double Maxwellian plasmas, the onset of spacecraft charging depends on the density and temperature of both distributions. We explain pedagogically the onset of charging in double Maxwellian plasmas. Triple-root jumps in spacecraft potential can occur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The breakup of the Space Shuttle Columbia as it reentered Earth's atmosphere on February 1, 2003, reminded the public--and NASA--of the grave risks posed to spacecraft by everything from insulating foam to space debris. Here, Alan Tribble presents a singular, up-to-date account of a wide range of less conspicuous but no less consequential environmental effects that can damage or cause poor performance of orbiting spacecraft. Conveying a wealth of insight into the nature of the space environment and how spacecraft interact with it, he covers design modifications aimed at eliminating or reducing such environmental effects as solar absorptance increases caused by self-contamination, materials erosion by atomic oxygen, electrical discharges due to spacecraft charging, degradation of electrical circuits by radiation, and bombardment by micrometeorites. This book is unique in that it bridges the gap between studies of the space environment as performed by space physicists and spacecraft design engineering as practiced by aerospace engineers.

This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting Earth's environment and other solar system bodies from harmful contamination has been an important principle throughout the history of space exploration. For decades, the scientific, political, and economic conditions of space exploration converged in ways that contributed to effective development and implementation of planetary protection policies at national and international levels. However, the future of space exploration faces serious challenges to the development and implementation of planetary protection policy. The most disruptive changes are associated with (1) sample return from, and human missions to, Mars; and (2) missions to those bodies in the outer solar system possessing water oceans beneath their icy surfaces. Review and Assessment of Planetary Protection Policy Development Processes addresses the implications of changes in the complexion of solar system exploration as they apply to the process of developing planetary protection policy. Specifically, this report examines the history of planetary protection policy, assesses the current policy development process, and recommends actions to improve the policy development process in the future.
