Research Abstract

Passive electron emission device that can emit electrons automatically from a satellite to prevent accident due to charging and arcing in Geosynchronous Orbit. Prototypes were made via micro-etching of laminar film made by copper and polyimide. Design modification and evaluation were repeated. It was confirmed that the emitter has a sufficient electron emission performance and strength against long-time exposure to space environment. Physical mechanism of electron emission was studied. Computer simulation showed that the emitter could mitigate the charging in orbit.
