1998 SEE Flight Experiments Workshop

June 23-25, 1998

Four Points Hotel, Huntsville, AL


Objective:

The objective of the workshop was to provide a forum for the exchange of information regarding the effects of the space environment on exposed spacecraft surfaces and on flight experiments designed to measure the space environment and its effects. Results from a number of flight experiments were presented and the implications of these observations on future missions was discussed. The workshop emphasized the problems which need to be resolved in order for future spacecraft to survive space environments in light of changing technologies, priorities, and budgetary constraints. An understanding of the flight experiments or technical development activities which need to be planned by the SEE program in future roadmap efforts was also generated. The table below contains the presentations that were presented at the workshop.
