Title

Prediction, Measurement and Effects of space environment on space missions

type

oral

Description

Space environment characterized by various factors such as radiation, plasma, atomic oxygen, planetary dusts, extreme temperature, vacuum, micro-gravity, micrometeoroid and debris, etc. and its fluctuations strongly affects quality of space missions. Environmental conditions yield constraints at design phase, and important risks in the course of the mission. The evaluation of the average and worst case conditions to be met, and of their impact on missions and sub-systems are thus of prime importance. This session will encompass the following topics: Space Weather, Plasma, Spacecraft Charging, Radiation, Atomic Oxygen, Planetary Dusts, Combined Environments - flight measurements; - physical processes; - prediction of average or worst case condition; - ground testing; - flight experiments and lessons learnt; - modelling and prediction.
