Abstract:
JPL flight projects since the 1960s-- Ranger 6, Mariner Mars, Viking 2, Voyager, Galileo, NSCAT, Magellan, and Mars Observer-- have a history of susceptibility to corona when exposed to regimes of critical pressure during ground test and flight. Design, test, and operational procedures are listed that may address spacecraft hardware susceptibility to corona-induced damage caused by either flight or ground environments.
