The definitive guide to the modern body of spacecraftcharging knowledge--from first principles for the beginner tointermediate and advanced concepts
The only book to blend the theoretical and practical aspects ofspacecraft charging, Guide to Mitigating Spacecraft ChargingEffects defines the environment that not only creates the aurora,but which also can have significant effects on spacecraft, such asdisruption of science measurements and solar arrays fromelectrostatic discharge (ESD). It describes in detail the physicsof the interaction phenomenon as well as how to constructspacecraft to enhance their survivability in the harsh environmentof space.
Combining the authors' extensive experience in spacecraftcharging--and in their provision of design support to NASA,JPL, the commercial satellite market, and numerous otherprojects--this incredible book offers both a robust physicsbackground and practical advice for neophytes in the field andexperienced plasma physicists and spacecraft engineers.
In addition to containing numerous equations, graphs, tables,references, and illustrations, Guide to Mitigating SpacecraftCharging Effects covers:
* Solar cell technology, especially higher voltage arrays, and thenew design approaches that are appropriate for them
* Information about the space plasma environment
* New analytic computer codes to analyze spacecraft charging
* Spacecraft anomalies and failures which emphasized designs thatare of greater importance than others

Über Autor(innen)

Henry B. Garrett, PhD, is a principal scientist and, until 2011, the chief technologist for the Office of Safety and Mission Success at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He represented JPL at the Pentagon as part of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization where he acted as deputy program manager for the highly successful DoD/NASA Clementine Lunar Mission and Program Manager for the Clementine InterStage Adapter Satellite. The recipient of the Air Force's Harold Brown Award and Legion of Merit and NASA Medals for Exceptional Engineering Achievement and for Exceptional Service, Dr. Garrett is the coauthor of Spacecraft Environment Interactions and the author of several NASA spacecraft charging guidelines.
Albert C. Whittlesey, member of the staff, Principal in the Office of Safety and Mission Success, has been a part of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) group since his arrival at JPL in 1962. Mr. Whittlesey has authored numerous symposium presentations and journal articles about various facets of EMC and spacecraft charging. He received a NASA Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal for his technical leadership in EMC and ESD. Mr. Whittlesey is also the author of several NASA spacecraft charging guidelines with Dr. Garrett.
