Physical characteristics and occurrence rates of meteoric plasma layers detected in the Martian ionosphere by the Mars Global Surveyor Radio Science Experiment
(American Geophysical Union, 2008-12-30)Low-altitude plasma layers are present in 71 of 5600 electron density profiles from the Martian ionosphere obtained by the Mars Global Surveyor Radio Science experiment. These layers are produced by the ablation of meteoroids ... -
Nonlinear Optics for Frequency-Doubling in Nanosatellite Laser Communication
(Utah State University Digital Commons, 2016-08-10)Free-space optical communication attracts interest due to its promise of higher data rates for similar size, weight, and power costs compared with radio systems. However, while satellite-to-ground optical communication has ... -
Response of geostationary communications satellite solid-state power amplifiers to high-energy electron fluence
(AGU Space Weather, 2015-05-25)The key components in communications satellite payloads are the high-power amplifiers that amplify the received signal so that it can be accurately transmitted to the intended end user. In this study, we examine 26 amplifier ...
