Guide To Mitigating Spacecraft Charging Effects (JPL Space Science And Technology Series) Hardcover

Henry B. Garrett

The definitive guide to the modern body of spacecraft charging knowledge, this book authoritatively blends the theoretical and practical aspects of spacecraft charging. It defines the environment that can have significant effects on spacecraft, such as disruption of science measurements and solar arrays from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Combining the authors' extensive experience in spacecraft charging and in their provision of design support to NASA, JPL, and the commercial satellite market, this incredible book offers practical advice for neophytes in the field as well as experienced plasma physicists and spacecraft engineers.

Henry B. Garrett, PhD, is a principal scientist and, until 2011, the chief technologist for the Office of Safety and Mission Success at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). He represented JPL at the Pentagon as part of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization where he acted as deputy program manager for the highly successful DoD/NASA Clementine Lunar Mission and Program Manager for the Clementine InterStage Adapter Satellite. The recipient of the Air Force's Harold Brown Award and Legion of Merit and NASA Medals for Exceptional Engineering Achievement and for Exceptional Service, Dr. Garrett is the coauthor of Spacecraft Environment Interactions and the author of several NASA spacecraft charging guidelines. Albert C. Whittlesey, member of the staff, Principal in the Office of Safety and Mission Success, has been a part of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) group since his arrival at JPL in 1962. Mr. Whittlesey has authored numerous symposium presentations and journal articles about various facets of EMC and spacecraft charging. He received a NASA Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal for his technical leadership in EMC and ESD. Mr. Whittlesey is also the author of several NASA spacecraft charging guidelines with Dr. Garrett.
