During an Extravehicular Activity (EVA), if the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) makes galvanic contact with the International Space Station (ISS), a negative Floating Potential (FP) can lead to an arcing hazard when it exceeds -45.5 V, and a positive FP can produce a DC current high enough to stimulate the astronaut’s muscles (5 mA), and also cause a hazard. The Boeing Space Environments team developed and utilizes a Plasma Interaction Model (PIM) in order to calculate the ISS FP based on the plasma environment, ISS velocity, geomagnetic field, solar array and ISS orientation, and solar array regulation to support EVA planning operations. Presently, the model excludes the sheath capacitance, resulting in the total potential drop being across the dielectric surface of the vehicle. Data from the Floating Potential Measurement Unit (FPMU) show this assumption to be generally true. However, Rapid Charging Events (RCE) are often observed in the FPMU data at eclipse exit when the electron number density, Ne, is low (less than 5(sub e)10 m (exp-3)). During these events, the FP can rise more than 40 V in one to five seconds. There is then a relaxation phase where the FP drops back to the normal FP values. The PIM model is not capable of producing these RCEs. It was thought that the inclusion of the sheath in PIM could improve the charging predictions, particularly as related to RCEs. A parametric study was performed to determine what portion of the measured FP is across the sheath for a range of Ne experienced by the ISS, and if the inclusion of the sheath in PIM is necessary. Results show that the potential drop across the sheath is negligible at times when the N(sub e) is greater than 1(sub e)11 m-3. However, there appears to be a transitional region between 1(sub e)10 m(exp -3) and 1(sub e)11 m(exp -3) where the sheath capacitance becomes more significant. During those conditions the potential drop across the sheath can be larger than the potential drop across the dielectric for short periods (1-5 seconds). These results agree remarkably well with measurements made by the FPMU. The inclusion of the sheath explains why high charging measurements occur when the Ne is low at eclipse exit and even times when the solar arrays are not a significant driver (i.e., potentials often rise as the ISS flies through spread-F). Results also show that the RCEs are not a safety concern because the potential drop across the dielectric surface does not exceed -45.5 V. In that case, the EMU would not arc. This gives high confidence in the low probability of an arcing hazard occurring.

The particle size characterization portion of the 2017 Propulsion Systems Laboratory Cloud Calibration is described. The work focuses on characterizing the particle size distribution of the icing cloud as a function of simulated atmospheric conditions. These results will aid in upcoming ice crystal and supercooled liquid icing tests in PSL. Measurements acquired with the Phase Doppler Interferometer and High Speed Imaging instruments are presented. Experimental results indicate that the particle size distribution is primarily a function nozzle air and water pressures, and that air speed is not a significant effect for ice crystal clouds in PSL and both thermodynamic conditions and air speed are not significant effects for supercooled liquid water clouds in PSL.

An ice shape database has been created to document ice accretions on a 72-inch chord NACA 23012 airfoil model resulting from an exposure to a Supercooled Large Drop (SLD) icing cloud with a bimodal drop size distribution. The ice shapes created were documented with photographs, laser scanned surface measurements over a section of the model span, and measurement of the ice mass over the same section of each accretion. The icing conditions used in the test matrix were based upon previously measured ice shapes on the same model to connect the current database to previously measured information. Ice shapes resulting from the bimodal distribution as well as from equivalent mono-modal drop size distributions were obtained and compared. Results indicate that the ice shapes resulting from the bimodal drop size distributions had higher mass and volume values than their mono-modal distribution equivalents as well as having icing limits that extended further back on the chord of the model.
