摘要

An experimental investigation has been undertaken to determine the effects associated with operating the International Space Station (ISS) without a Plasma Contactor Unit (PCU). The role of the PCU is to maintain the potential of the ISS to within 40 volts of the ambient plasma potential. In the event of a PCU failure, ISS structure may charge to -160 volts with respect to the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) plasma, due to the use of high voltage photovoltaic solar arrays. Operation without a PCU will result in the charging of the oxide layers on anodized aluminum components facing into the RAM direction. In this investigation, arcs were observed as a result of anodized materials charging in a plasma environment. Actual ISS materials were used in the investigation. The materials included meteoroid and debris shield samples, as well as components from the Extra-vehicular Mobility Unit (EMU). Results show that the occurrence of arcs was dependent on several factors including material composition and applied voltage. Damage resulting from an arc is shown, as well as the effect of arc damage on thermal properties.
