Plasma parameters of geosynchronous orbit measured by Los Alamos National Laboratory satellites are analyzed statistically. For each set of plasma parameters, charging analysis is carried out, taking a geostationary satellite representing a typical telecommunication satellite as an example. The number of expected trigger arcs on a solar array is calculated based on the charging duration with severe inverted potential gradient conditions expected in orbit. Using the number of trigger arcs, an appropriate duration of electrostatic discharge ground test is proposed to test the insulation strength against sustained arc phenomena.
