Abstract
The natural space environment exerts many harmful (called “space weather”) effects on spacecraft in orbit around the Earth as well as probes to other planets. The main hazards among these are surface charging, internal charging, single event effects, and total dose. Specifically, the ∼ keV electron population can have substantial impacts on spacecraft by causing spacecraft surface charging and electrostatic discharges (ESD). This hazard continues to be of great relevance today due to the continual evolution of the human use of space in terms of the number of satellites launched, the technologies they use and the design / manufacturing / test techniques used to build them. In the past, the majority of operating spacecraft were in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO), nowadays the Low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellite population dominates and the number of Non-Geostationary Satellite Orbit (NGSO) constellations increases; these new constellations are likely to increase the technical risks associated with harmful space weather conditions. This paper summarizes the state of art for surface charging including background of the phenomenon, data sources for characterizing charging on spacecraft, modeling of the space weather environment, surface charging modeling tools, and charging indices and metrics. Future directions and both near- and long-term recommendations are also provided.
期刊介绍:
The COSPAR publication Advances in Space Research (ASR) is an open journal covering all areas of space research including: space studies of the Earth''s surface, meteorology, climate, the Earth-Moon system, planets and small bodies of the solar system, upper atmospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres of the Earth and planets including reference atmospheres, space plasmas in the solar system, astrophysics from space, materials sciences in space, fundamental physics in space, space debris, space weather, Earth observations of space phenomena, etc.
NB: Please note that manuscripts related to life sciences as related to space are no more accepted for submission to Advances in Space Research. Such manuscripts should now be submitted to the new COSPAR Journal Life Sciences in Space Research (LSSR).
All submissions are reviewed by two scientists in the field. COSPAR is an interdisciplinary scientific organization concerned with the progress of space research on an international scale. Operating under the rules of ICSU, COSPAR ignores political considerations and considers all questions solely from the scientific viewpoint.
