Recently, our lab has tested the satellite time sequence circuit in DECDIS (Satellite Deep Charging&Discharging Simulater). Internal discharging currents and electric field pulses have been observed in the experiment. The time sequence circuit has been disturbed by internal discharging pulses, which could result in satellite pseudo order, malfunction, etc, threatening the safety reliability of satellite system.
The normal satellite time sequence signal. Internal discharging pulses: current (CH2) and magnetic pulse (CH1). Satellite time sequence signal affected by internal discharging.
