The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in collaboration with the California Institute of Technology and Clarkson University proposes a systematic 5-year experimental and physics-based modeling investigation of the well-observed but poorly understood emission of particles from spacecraft, in the size range of sub-microns to hundreds of microns. The main experimental effort will consist of controlled laboratory investigations in vacuum facilities and will culminate with experiments in space using a constellation of miniature satellites (“CubeSats”).
