Oral presentation

Electrostatic discharges (ESDs) are a known cause of satellite anomalies, particularly during disturbances in the radiation belts. While design guidelines to evaluate and mitigate ESD and electromagnetic coupling (EMC) risks have traditionally focused on large platforms, there is now a need to tailor these guidelines to the unique characteristics of smaller platforms, such as CubeSats.

Oral presentation

Since the 1960s, cosmic dust particles in the solar system have been investigated in situ using dust impact instruments on spacecraft near Earth and in planetary space. These particles, largely stemming from comets and from asteroid collisions, can occur in cometary streams or are more dispersed into the zodiacal dust cloud. Also interstellar dust moves through the solar system as the solar...
