The objective of this contract is the design, |
|
fabrication, and testing of a Spacecraft Automatic Active |
|
Discharge System (SAADS) which will attempt to |
|
automatically control and dissipate the vehicle charge as |
|
a function of natural or induced disturbances in space. A |
|
microporcessor based controller will monitor and |
|
manipulate data from a Proton Electrostatic Analyzer |
|
(ESA) to determine if the vehicle charge is greater than |
|
a predetermined value and then activate a Plasma Source |
|
ot discharge the vehicle. The plasma source short |
|
circuits the charge. This equipment is to be flown as |
|
part of the BERT I payload to demonstrate the feasibility |
|
of the system for eventual use in a satellite in a true |
|
space environment. Keywords: Microprocessor programmer, |
|
Proton electostatic analyzer, Plasma source. |
