Abstract:
Although graphite/polymer composites were thought to be immune to space plasma charging because the material is electrically conductive, it may actually retain a significant charge in places where the non-conductive resin pools.
Use a non-contact charge measuring device when testing the material's electrical resistance, and consider spacecraft designs that can accept worst-case electrical discharges.
