Popis: | Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) that will be launched by Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency in 2005 will carry a large solar paddle of 22 m x 3 m in polar orbit. The wake side of solar paddle can be charged to a highly negative value. Laboratory experiments are carried out to investigate charging and arcing phenomena on the backside of the solar paddle that has exposed bypath diode boards and Silver-Teflon thermal coating. We irradiate solar panel coupons with an electron beam to simulate charging situation near the North Pole. Surface flashover is observed once the insulator potential exceeds - 7 kV. Possibility of sustained arc and surge voltage between hot and return ends of power circuit have been investigated. 資料番号: AA0049206098 レポート番号: JAXA-SP-05-001E |
