Abstract:
Moving and opening a shipping container induced a charge on the surfaces of the container and onto the attached Mars Exploration Rover equipment module. Even with standard ESD control procedures in place, moving and opening a storage container can unexpectedly induce a charge on flight hardware within it. Five recommendations involve ESD training, ESD inspections, and container characterization, approval, and labeling.
