New findings reveal the cause of potentially damaging electrical discharges on satellites
For the first time, researchers have found that the number of electrical discharges on a spacecraft directly correlates to the number of electrons in the surrounding environment—information that could help scientists better understand how to protect equipment in space. Spacecraft environment discharges (SEDs) are transient electrical breakdowns that can damage sensitive onboard electronics and communication systems.
For the first time, researchers have found that the number of electric shocks on a spaceship is directly correlated with the number of electrons in the surrounding environment – information that could help scientists better understand how to protect equipment in space. Spaceship environmental discharges (SEDs) are failures in the spaceship environment.
