Spacecraft charging of CubeSats in LEO and the impact of space weather events

该项目主要侧重于航天器充电研究，即一般航天器充电研究，特别是低地球轨道立方体卫星形状的航天器充电研究。该项目将开发一个模型，以便能够估计航天器的潜力，然后使用来自CIRCE使命上的INMS仪器的数据来验证该模型。该项目还将涉及与INMS的实际工作，参与INMS地面部分和飞行中操作的所有方面，飞行中数据的数据分析以及空间气象事件的影响。

The project is mainly focused on a spacecraft charging study of spacecraft in general and spacecraft in the CubeSat form factor in LEO in particular. The project will develop a model to enable estimations of spacecraft potential and then use the data from the INMS instrument on the CIRCE mission to verify the model. The project would also involve hands on work with the INMS, involvement with all aspects of INMS ground segment and in-flight operations, data analysis of in-fight data and impact of space weather events.
