Controlled Precipitation of Radiation Belt Particles
Abstract
The overall objectives of this work are to: * Quantify the requirements for controlled precipitation of radiation belt particles in order to mitigate space particle effects * Address the issue of coupling of space based antennas to the surrounding magnetoplasma for use in system design * Determine radiated power from single transmitting element The completion of these goals requires the design of antenna-in-plasma codes which simulate the interaction of radiating antennas and the magnetized plasma in which they are immersed. Different codes have been developed that solve various aspects of the coupling problem and that are tailored to the particular physics in the corresponding region of the coupling environment.
