LT RBR: Long Term Radiation Belt Remediation Joshua Davis ASTE 527 Space Concepts Studio

LT RBR: RBR means removing the trapped electrons and ions from the near Earth environment for the benefit of manned and unmanned spacecraft.

Radiation Environment’s Impact on Manned Spaceflight A majority of the radiation Astronauts receive on orbit is attributed to the trapped radiation particles in the inner Van Allen belt. Time on orbit is limited by an Astronaut’s total radiation exposure, limiting the ability to study long term micro-gravity effects on Humans. Radiation dosage on the ISS is roughly 4 orders of magnitude higher than at Sea Level. Temporary and permanent eye damage. Increased risk of cancers. The daily dosage of radiation on the ISS is equal to 8 chest X-rays per day. Increased risk of heart, digestive, and respiratory diseases.

Solar array power decrease due to radiation damage Single event effects in microelectronics: bit flips, fatal latch-ups Spacecraft components become radioactive False stars in star tracker CCDs before after Surface degradation from radiation Electronics degrade due to total radiation dose Solar array arc discharge Cryogenic systems experience notable charged particle heating Electromagnetic pulse from vehicle discharge Induced Voltage Time Energetic Particle & Plasma Hazards

Arc Discharging Solar Panel Power Decrease Bit Flips / Single Event Upsets

Particle Motion in Earth’s Magnetic Field

How RBR Works: Change the particle’s pitch cone angle such that its velocity vector is pointed roughly parallel to the magnetic field lines.
