| 内容記述 | Two rigid solar array panels were subjected to a simulated geosynchronous orbit substorm environment. During the charging sequence, distributions of accumulated surface charge were measured under eclipse and sunlight conditions. Discharge events were characterized with respect to voltage pulse signatures and amplitudes on the solar array bus leads. Post-exposure analysis of the solar array panels indicated that the electrical characteristics were not degraded in spite of the substantial discharge actvity. However, significant cratering and discoloration of the Tedlar dielectric were observed. |
