Abstract

Focusing on space weather originated anomalies mainly on spacecraft electronics and structures, such problems are quite common issue encountered by telecommunication satellite operators. In this study, plasma environment inside the magnetosphere is modelled with Comprehensive Inner-Magnetosphere Ionosphere Model (CIMI) and the model outputs have been processed in order to drive the Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software (SPIS) for prediction of surface differential charging. Analyses were conducted on SPIS with different space environment and satellite configurations; different orbital locations regarding to satellite on-station configuration. Spacecraft charging potential estimations are obtained for a specific space weather event and surface charging on different configurations were analysed indicating the differential surface charging can be expected on 00:00, 06:00 and 18:00 MLT points. In conclusion, it is found that CIMI model can be potentially used for charging simulations.

Funding

We acknowledge use of WIND magnetic field, plasma, and radio wave data acquired from the NASA/GSFC's Space Physics Data Facility's CDAWeb to drive CIMI boundary conditions. Simulation results have been provided by the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC) at Goddard Space Flight Center through their publicly available simulation services (https://ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov; run number is listed in Runs on Request section as: Arif_Gozutok_100522_IM_1). The Comprehensive Inner- Magnetosphere Ionosphere Model was developed by the Mei- Ching Hannah Fok now working at NASA/GSFC.
