Accomplished Projects

Orbital radio telescope ‘Spektr-R’ ( Lavochkin Scientific and Production Association)

• We developed the software for analyzing the spacecraft charging.
• We tested 26 types of cable fragments for electrostatic sensitivity.

Geostationary Communications Satellite ‘Ekspress-MD’ (Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center)

• We developed the software for analyzing the spacecraft charging.
• We conducted bench tests of the satellite electronic analogue for electrostatic sensitivity.

International Space Station (Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center)

• We created equipment for measuring the transition resistance of docking module nodes.

Space Launch Vehicle KSLV (South Korea)

• We estimated the crosstalk on the onboard cable network of the launch vehicle KSLV-1 from the electromagnetic impulse of electrostatic discharge using computer modeling, and prepared conclusion about possible crosstalk on the onboard cable network.

Space system for communication and broadcasting KazSat (Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center)

• We developed the methods and carried out the tests in order to confirm the noise immunity of onboard equipment of KazSat-2 satellite to electromagnetic noises generated by electrostatic discharge.

International Launch Services

• We determined the pattern of currents induced by an electrostatic discharge on the surface of carbon-fiber modules of the Proton-M launch vehicle.
• We estimated crosstalk of these currents in cable network.

Liquid Oxygen/Hydrogen Upper Stage Booster for Heavy-Lift Launch Vehicle (KVTK) (Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center)

• We conducted the development work determining the noise resistance of onboard radio electronic equipment of the KVTK launch vehicle to static electricity discharge during the launch of the sketch project materials.

Upper Stage Briz-M (Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center)

• We worked on creating a structural electro-physical model of Briz-M upper stage electrification, and we determined the levels of electromagnetic crosstalk in the onboard cable system during electrostatic discharge occurring on the upper stage external surface.
