Development of a predictive discharge numerical model on solar panels<br />

There have been a considerable effort from CNES to elaborate credible mechanisms to explain electrostatic discharges on<br />

solar array. A campaign of laboratory test is currently being performed under EMAGS-2 project lead by <strong>ESA</strong> (Photovoltaic<br />

Generator section). Following this testing sequence, this new activity will consist in the development of a predictive numerical<br />

model to simulate the effects from primary and secondary arcs on various designs solutions (network and cells). This model<br />

can be validated by the laboratory test results. A comparison in between laboratory conditions and real environment conditions<br />

could then be performed. It is foreseen to be carry out this comparison by using the so called SPIS, the <strong>TRP</strong> funded<br />

Spacecraft Plasma Interaction System.<br />

Deliverables:<br />

Proved numerical model. Comparison with test results. Simulation software.<br />

Rapid prototyping toolkit for space environment engineering tools<br />

For space environmental analyses requiring the use of a spacecraft geometrical model <strong>ESA</strong> developed <strong>ESA</strong>BASE as a<br />

general modelling and analysis environment, in the 1980's. Although the original <strong>ESA</strong>BASE is aging and becoming difficult to<br />

maintain and use, the analysis capability is still very important both for <strong>ESA</strong> and the European space in<strong>du</strong>stry. As a means of<br />

investigating future options and problem areas, a small activity is currently developing a version of the important debris<br />

application of <strong>ESA</strong>BASE using modern software tools and methods. The key objectives of work in this area are to work<br />

towards adoption of international standards for data representation and models, harmonisation with related tools and<br />

standards in other disciplines, and use of commercial tools and utilities. This activity will validate and apply similar methods to<br />

those established in the debris development to cover all the other environmental (atomic oxygen, radiation, solar UV,<br />

contamination) applications as well. It will move away from proprietary components and instead use available open source or<br />

COTs software. The result will be a replacement of <strong>ESA</strong>BASE tools in various domains with open source desktop tools.<br />
