Practice:
Missions with payloads that can interact strongly with the ambient plasma, such as a high power electron beam, a high power RF source, or an ion engine, may require a structural current test for conducted susceptibility and higher radiated susceptibility test levels. The practice is to perform an analysis early in such a program to estimate the amplitude of plasma noise induced electromagnetic interference (EMI). This may identify potential adverse effects on operational reliability.
