The Near-Earth Space Radiation for Electronics
The space radiation environment can have serious effects on spacecraft electronics. For example, accumulated damage from electron and proton exposure will limit system endurance. Transient effects from individual high-energy protons or cosmic rays can disrupt system operation, perhaps irreversibly. Of particular importance in assessing the impact of the space radiation on electronic devices are...
متن کاملAtmospheric Secondary Particles In Near Earth Space
In June 1998, the Alpha magnetic spectrometer AMS [1] had a test flight on board space shuttle and recorded some 108 events. The AMS proton and leptons spectrum [2, 3] have a magnetic latitude dependence. The spectral shape of primary cosmic rays can be explained by the geomagnetic rigidity cutoff. However, below the rigidity cutoff, a second spectrum was clearly seen. The energy of this second...
متن کاملMigration of Small Bodies and Dust to Near-Earth Space
The orbital evolution of Jupiter-family comets (JFCs), resonant asteroids, and asteroidal, trans-Neptunian, and cometary dust particles under the gravitational influence of planets was integrated. For dust particles we also considered radiation pressure, Poynting-Robertson drag, and solar wind drag. The probability of a collision of one former JFC with a terrestrial planet can be greater than a...
متن کاملLaboratory Investigation of Near - Earth Space Plasma Processes
Introduction: Energetic particles and plasma dynamics in the near-Earth space environment can significantly impact operation of both military and civilian systems. The underlying physical mechanisms relevant to two important space plasma issues, radiation belt dynamics and auroral ionospheric space weather, are under investigation in the NRL Space Physics Simulation Chamber (SPSC). Plasma condi...
متن کاملGround-Based Investigation of Near- Earth Space Plasma Processes in the NRL Space Physics Simulation Chamber
Introduction: The NRL Space Physics Simulation Chamber Laboratory conducts a broad-based research program addressing near-Earth space plasma physics. The unique Space Chamber device (shown in operation in Fig. 1) produces large-volume, steady-state, spacelike plasmas with conditions scaled to match various ionospheric and magnetospheric regions of interest. The program includes basic research i...
