Slow electric orbit-raising may harm satellites: study
Submit on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2019 22:58
The use of electric propulsion for raising satellites into geostationary orbit can result in significant solar cell degradation according to a new study. The extended journey time results in greater exposure to the damaging effects of space weather. Understanding the size of this risk is essential for commercial operators to take steps to mitigate the effects and protect their assets.
