Abstract:

During arc welding of a Galileo propulsion fuel line, an arc to the spacecraft caused an uncontrolled transient pulse of current that flowed through portions of the spacecraft structure and electronics. The potential for anomalies to introduce transient currents prompted recommendations involving interface design, planning of welding operations, and evaluation of electrical and insulation characteristics.
