Spacecraft charging effects

Space Science Reviews, 1983
This paper gives an overview of electrostatic charging which occurs on spacecraft in different plasma environments. Particular emphasis is given to differential charging between sunlit and shadowed insulated surfaces, a phenomenon which is often observed in the geostationary orbit.

NASA's small spacecraft technology initiative “Clark” spacecraft

Acta Astronautica, 1996
Abstract The Small Satellite Technology Initiative (SSTI) is a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program to demonstrate smaller, high technology satellites constructed rapidly and less expensively. Under SSTI, NASA funded the development of “Clark,” a high technology demonstration satellite to provide 3-m resolution panchromatic ...

Giotto Spacecraft

2011
The Giotto spacecraft (Fig. 1), the first ESA (European Space Agency) interplanetary probe, was designed to flyby comet Halley. Launched on 2 July 1985 by an Ariane-1 rocket from Kourou, Giotto succeeded in approaching the cometary nucleus to within 600 km on 14 March 1986. Through its first accurate images of a nucleus and in situ studies of gases and

Manned Spacecraft Simulation

SIMULATION, 1963
Computer simulation of electro/mechanical systems has become so important in our world of technical complexity that to many of us the very word "Simulation" has come to suggest first---if not exclusively---just that; the computer simulation of complex physical systems.

Spacecraft design considerations for spacecraft charging environments

2017 Asia-Pacific International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (APEMC), 2017
Spacecraft charging (surface and internal) is complex physical phenomena that can have serious ramifications on mission success. The degree of spacecraft charging a spacecraft may experience is heavily dependent on both the surrounding space environment and spacecraft geometry (more specifically, the geometry and material makeup of the spacecraft).

Manned Spacecraft Structure Versus Unmanned Spacecraft Structure

SAE Technical Paper Series, 1966
<div class="htmlview paragraph">The large difference between the total numbers of manned and unmanned spacecraft and their respective missions is discussed. The environmental and functional requirements having different effects on the two spacecraft types are described.

Foton Capsule, Spacecraft

2011
Foton is an unmanned recoverable spacecraft, designed and manufactured by TsSKB-Progress in Samara (Russia). Fifteen Fotons were launched between 1985 and 2007, initially from Plesetsk, later from Baikonur. The launch vehicle is a Soyuz-U. The reentry capsule is spherically shaped with a diameter of 2.3 m.
