Solar Properties• The Sun is the dominant energy source driving
the structure of the atmosphere– Photon radiation– Particle emission
• Sun can be modeled as a black body with T = 5800 K– Good approximation for visible and IR emission
• Wavelength of peak spectral intensity (Wien’s Law) ~ 0.5 µm• Spectral intensity as a function of wavelength given by
Planck function– Does not model high energy photon emission well
• Under-estimates UV and higher energy photon emission• Structure of UV emission is important for upper atmospheric
processes

Solar Structure
• Photosphere– Visible disk of the sun– Temperature ranges from 6000 K to 4300 K near the
boundary with the chromosphere– Mostly visible wavelength emission
• Chromosphere– Temperatures rise rapidly up to 25,000 K
• Corona– Low density (not visible without eclipse)– High temperature ~ 2x106 K– Reaches as far as 10x the photosphere diameter
![Page 8: The Space Environment I - University of Colorado Colorado ...aketsdev/MAE 5595_files/The Space... · the structure of the atmosphere – Photon radiation – Particle emission •](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f919a52d5e417928e01e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Solar Emission• EM Radiation

atmosphere• 52% IR• 41% Visible• <7% UV• 0.1% EUV• 0.1% Radio
– EUV is extremely important• Ability to dissociate and ionize upper atmospheric
species• Similar processes can be active on spacecraft
materials

F10.7
• F10.7 is the flux of the 10.7 cm (radio) frequency emitted from the sun– Of interest since the intensity of the 10.7 cm emission from the sun
follows the solar EUV emission– 10.7 cm wavelengths can be measured from ground based facilities

Vacuum Environment
![Page 23: The Space Environment I - University of Colorado Colorado ...aketsdev/MAE 5595_files/The Space... · the structure of the atmosphere – Photon radiation – Particle emission •](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f919a52d5e417928e01e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Characteristics of the Vacuum Environment
• Solar UV Radiation (Relatively low energy)– UV radiation from the sun is not absorbed
above the Stratosphere– Highly energetic photons interact with
spacecraft surfaces (degradation)• Vacuum
– Space environment is extremely rarefied above 100 km
– Reduction in pressure and/or an increase in temperature causes outgassing
![Page 24: The Space Environment I - University of Colorado Colorado ...aketsdev/MAE 5595_files/The Space... · the structure of the atmosphere – Photon radiation – Particle emission •](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f919a52d5e417928e01e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Solar UV Environment
• UV / Surface Interaction– Extinction
• Loss of the photon in the interaction• Energy absorbed by the material
– Dissociation– Ionization– Photo-electron production
– Scattering• Reflection• Transmission
![Page 25: The Space Environment I - University of Colorado Colorado ...aketsdev/MAE 5595_files/The Space... · the structure of the atmosphere – Photon radiation – Particle emission •](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f919a52d5e417928e01e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Material Outgassing• Molecular release from a material into the
gaseous phase– Reduced pressure– Elevated temperature
• Highly volatile, loosely bound molecules• Solar UV can enhance surface outgassing
– Direct energy coupling– Surface material heating
• Contamination potential for critical spacecraft components
![Page 27: The Space Environment I - University of Colorado Colorado ...aketsdev/MAE 5595_files/The Space... · the structure of the atmosphere – Photon radiation – Particle emission •](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042213/5eb7f919a52d5e417928e01e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Contamination
• Sources– Molecular Outgassing– Particulate– Spacecraft Thrusters– Water Dumps– Gas Vents– Cabin Leakage

Atmospheric Density Variations
• Can depend on– Solar output
• Highly variable• 11 year solar cycle
– Location in orbit (lat/long)– Diurnal variations– Seasonal variations– Whether the Dodgers will
make the playoffs

Orbital Lifetime• A good approximation of ρ leads to
– Good estimate of orbital drag force– Good estimate of satellite lifetime (integrated effect)
• A bit complicated. Drag reduces orbital altitude, which increases drag which reduces orbital altitude which….
• A lot of effort being placed on predicting Space Weather– Affects all spacecraft
• LEO – density– Changes in drag force, atomic oxygen concentration
• POLAR – high energy particles (aurora)– Spacecraft charging
• GEO – high energy solar particles– Spacecraft charging

Questions• The mission was delayed from early 2003 to
winter of 2004. Was this a benefit to the overall mission from a drag standpoint?
• Are there scenarios where delays could cause a mission to be completely scrubbed?
• If the drag at a given altitude is too high, what can be done about it?
• What are some ways that the lifetime could be increased even at the original 350 km altitude?
• Is atmospheric drag a problem for MEO or GEO spacecraft?
• If we want to use thrusters to maintain our orbit (i.e. counteract drag), is the ∆V positive or negative w.r.t. the satellite velocity vector?

Effects of Atomic Oxygen• Atomic oxygen is formed
from the photo-dissociation of molecular oxygen by solar EUV
• Atomic oxygen in extremely reactive
• Atomic oxygen interacts with spacecraft in LEO with relative energies of approximately 5 eV (Vs/c ~ 8 km/s, VO ~ Thermal)
• Material Degradation• Shuttle Glow

that originates from the spacecraft itself– Driven by molecular
adsorption and atomic oxygen
