    Effects of chemical releases by the STS-3 Orbiter on the ionosphere (1983)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-08-13
    Description: The Plasma Diagnostics Package, flown aboard STS-3 as part of the first Shuttle payload (OSS-1), recorded the effects of various chemical releases from the Orbiter. Changes in the plasma environment was observed during flash evaporator system releases, water dumps and maneuvering thruster operations. During flash evaporator operations, broadband Orbiter-generated electrostatic noise was enhanced and plasma density irregularities were observed to increase by 3 to 30 times with a spectrum which rose steeply and peaked below 6 Hz. In the case of water dumps, background electrostatic noise was enhanced at frequencies below about 3 kHz and suppressed at frequencies above 2 kHz. Thruster activity also stimulated electrostatic noise with a spectrum which peaked at approximately 0.5 kHz. In addition, ions with energies up to 1 keV were seen during some thruster events.

    The plasma wake of the Shuttle Orbiter (1989)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: One of the objectives of the Plasma Diagnostics Package (PDP) instrumentation on Spacelab 2 was to obtain information about the plasma wake of the Shuttle Orbiter. Plasma density and electron temperature data are presented, which were obtained while the PDP was attached to the Shuttle remote manipulator system, and while the PDP was a free-flying satellite. Wake crossings by the PDP from about 40 m to about 240 m behind the Orbiter provide information about the structure of the mid and far wake of the Orbiter. As expected, the wake is characterized by density depressions, relative to the ambient ionospheric plasma, and by enhancements of the electron temperature, particularly in the near and mid wake. The observed electron temperature enhancements appear to be in line with previous spacecraft observations.

    Measurements of plasma parameters in the vicinity of the Space Shuttle (1986)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: A Langmuir probe flown as part of the Plasma Diagnostics Package aboard the third Space Shuttle flight was used to determine electron densities, temperatures, and plasma potential in the vicinity of the Shuttle Orbiter. Measurements taken both in the cargo bay and 10 m above the cargo bay on the Remote Manipulator System arm are consistent with small satellite and laboratory results, in that reduced densities and elevated temperatures are observed in the Shuttle wake. The primary difference in the Shuttle measurements is one of magnitude; i.e., orders-of-magnitude density decreases and factor-of-five temperature enhancements. Analysis of data taken in (Delta N)/N turbulence can be as high as a few percent, and the most intense turbulence seems to occur near regions with a steep gradient in plasma pressure.
