SPINE Meeting 2016 On‐going efforts toward plume‐spacecraft interaction modelling

Introduction Context  All electric orbit transfer of GEO spacecraft Analysis of electrostatic risk during the OT phase: Plume interaction with spacecraft: Plasma induced discharge Current collection by SA  power losses Spacecraft erosion and contamination Radiation induced effects Charging effects LEO/MEO/GEO plasmas Analysis of the electrostatic risks at GEO (after OT phase) Change of material properties in surface due to contamination, erosion, redeposition … Ageing due to radiation or long term internal charging

Between: Plasma plume Slow ions collected Environment

Models Plasma models: Thruster source models: Full PIC for all ions species Xe+, Xe2+, …, ions from environment (LEO/MEO/GEO) and CEX ions Fluid model for electrons: Maxwell-Boltzmann, MB truncated, polytropic, … Charge exchange collision between fast ions in the plume and neutrals coming from the thruster Thruster source models: Standard Maxwellian sources: AxisymetricMaxwellian, MaxwellianThruster, … AISEPS sources: SPT100, RIT4, … Electrostatic equilibrium: Current balance on the SC Plume potential fixed SC floating potential wrt plume Effect estimated: Current collection by SA interconnects Erosion Contamination

Plasma plume interaction with spacecraft Primary plasma Xe+ / 100-200 eV N>>1016 m-3 / lD < 0,01mm Geometry of a standard GEO spacecraft Electric thruster (type SPT100) on a 1m boom (-Z direction): Electron and ion temp: 5 eV Mach number: 5 (125 eV directed –z for ions) Ion current: 5 A e- Secondary plasma Xe+ / 20-50 eV N<1014 m-3 / lD < 1mm X Y Z CMX (+Z) ITO CFRP Environment plasma Secondary plasma: generated by charge exchange between primary ions and neutrals from the thruster Environment plasma (LEO / MEO): Protons at 10 eV / 109 m-3 Neutralized by the same population as for the thruster

Plasma density in volume Density of primary ions Density of charge exchanged ions Most of the primary ions are directed in –z  plume effect Small amount recollected on the solar arrays CEX ions generated in the near field of the thruster  highest density CEX ions attracted by the negative potentials of the SC Density almost homogeneous at 1011 m-3 (higher than environment density)

Electric potential in volume Potentials reached at the stationary state: Maximum potential +102 V (larger thruster cathode +80 V) due to the divergence on the ion flux and the ring geometry On the cover glass surfaces: a floating potential between 0 V and + 35 V is reached and the conductive rear face of the solar array reaches a floating potential of -15. Mean energy of the CEX ions: 65 eV - 115 eV on the conductive parts of the spacecraft electrically connected to the spacecraft electrical mass.

Plasma collection by the surfaces Front face wrt thruster Rear face wrt thruster Front surfaces  highest current density of CEX from 1 mA/m² near the spacecraft body to 10 mA/m² at the farthest surfaces of the solar array. Rear surfaces  very small current collection from 0.01 mA/m² near the spacecraft body to 10 mA/m² at the farthest extremity of the SA. Current collection gradient due to volume density gradient and surface potential gradient All the surfaces negatively charged wrt the plasma plume  all surfaces attractive for the CEX ions

Erosion and contamination Eroded product everywhere: Maximum density of eroded product is 1012 m-3  collects a lot of CEX ions because close to the thruster (about 1 m) and very negative On SA, density of the eroded products < 1011 m-3 107 m-3 at the farthest extremity  no risk of contamination Flux densities as large as 1015 #.m-2.s-1 collected on the front faces of the antennas, the spacecraft body lateral surfaces and on the front faces of the SA Estimation of contaminant layer thickness: Taking a redeposition flux of 1013 #.m-2.s-1 and a mean density of the contaminant layer (a typical polymer), Layer deposition rate of 10-15 m.s-1  1 nm layer in < 12 days of continuous operations. But over estimated  the erosion and evaporation of the contaminant not taken into account

Background  SPIS 5 heritage SPIS-SCIENCE ESTEC/ESA contract Technical officer: Alain Hilgers Consortium: ONERA, Artenum, IRF-U, IRAP Long-term scientific program of ESA : missions dealing with plasma measurements (Solar Orbiter, Juice) SPIS new capabilities Electrostatic cleanliness assessment SPIS adapted to relatively low energy (few eV) plasma measurements with a large number of physical models implemented Tested on Solar Orbiter (particle instruments), Cluster (particle & electric field), Rosetta (electric field) and Cassini (electric field) Finalized in November 2013 Maintenance phase till September 2014 Usefull developments for EP Source activation Solar array interactors Live monitor: particle distribution monitor …

Background  SPIS 5 heritage AISEPS Implement in SPIS plume models for simulation of electric propulsion-spacecraft interactions Study focus: Validation of plume models of SPT100, PPS1350, HEMP, RIT4, RIT10, RIT22, T5, T6, In-FEEP, Cs-FEEP thrusters Simulation of spacecraft charging induced by plasma plume and comparison with SMART1 in-flight data Other study subjects Ground testing of RIT4: plume measurements + neutraliser behaviour under different configurations (grounded/floating) Dev of electronic database with lot of public plume data

Ongoing projects  Electron cooling Model and Experimental validation of spacecraft-thruster Interactions (erosion) for electric propulsion thrusters plumes Objectives: review of the available data and models for electrons cooling and erosion development and implementation of a new model of electrons cooling in SPIS perform on-ground tests to allow comparison with the results of the developed model validation of the model implemented in SPIS see Mario Merino presentation

Known limitations Plasma models: Thruster source models: MB law for electron overestimate potential gradients Polytropic/adiabatic laws not physical how to extrapolate to in-flight simulation Thruster source models: Neutral model to validate / improve Charge exchange implementation not stable / problem of performance Other collisions neglected (elastic collisions ….) Electrostatic equilibrium: Current balance on the plume plasma not compute and not take into account for CRP calculation Coupling of the plasma plume with environment difficult to model Effect estimated  to be improved Current collection by SA interconnects Erosion Contamination

Ongoing projects  SPIS-EP Improved Modelling of Electrical Thruster Induced Plasma plume Interaction Need for accurate modelling of the plume effects on the spacecraft  new SPIS developments that can be divided in four sub-topics: thruster and environment definition accurate plume modelling electric circuit closure through the plasma erosion and contamination New developments must be numerically tested and physically validated Operational use needs early user feedback and user friendly packaging. user interface developments with technical/scientific inputs Numerical and physical model developments comparison with data and background experience test by “external” end users software production and dissemination

Time line Start of the project: beginning of this year Implementation end: beginning of 2017 Validation phase in 2017 First public release (beta version): end of 2017 Includes the contribution of the both projects
