B3 Activity of Laboratory of Spacecraft Environment Interaction Engineering in Kyushu Institute of Technology : Spacecraft charging, Space Debris and Small Satellite Development

Abstract

Laboratory of Spacecraft Environment Interaction Engineering (LaSEINE) in Kyushu Institute of Technology in researching spacecraft charging and arcing, space debris and small satellite. Laboratory of Spacecraft Environment Interaction Engineering has test facilities specialized space environment and provides the education for the space environment. In particular to spacecraft charging and arcing, the solar array panel made in Japan and abroad were tested. The laboratory is one of the world's leading authorities on spacecraft charging and arcing. Recently, the environment test facilities for a small satellite are developed. These facilities can provide most of test environments required small satellites. In this presentation, our past results and future plan will be reported.
