An aerospace vehicle traveling through the atmosphere is subject to triboelectrically induced electrostatic charge build-up caused by dust and ice crystal impingement. Electrostatic discharges between an antenna housing and the exterior of the vehicle may interfere with system operation. Paschen's Law, derived for stationary, charged surfaces, fails to account for the loss of electron-ion pairs with...
The Viking missions to Mars failed to detect any organic material in regolith samples. Since then, several removal mechanisms of organic material have been proposed. Two of these proposed methods are removal due to exposure to plasmas created in dust devils and exposure to UV irradiation. The experiments presented here were performed to identify similarities between the two potential removal mechanisms...
