Abstract:
Based on the definition and with consideration of the induced space environment and effects, this paper reviews the research status of the interactions between charged particles and the spacecraft under a magnetic field, the outgassing effects of spacecraft non-metallic materials, the interactions of space plasma and spacecrafts, the spacecraft thruster plume effects and the electron environment and effects. A detecting methodology is developed, including the thruster plume, the insulator discharge detection and the spacecraft magnetic field distributions.
