Sentence examples for spacecraft lifetime from inspiring English sources

In low earth orbit, the SAA region is the dominant contributor to both proton environment and electron environment from the standpoint of radiation dose for spacecraft lifetime.

Continuing to add spacecraft and upper stages to these orbits, especially at altitudes above 600 km and high inclinations will worsen the problem, eventually making the risk of operating in theses orbits intolerably high by shortening spacecraft lifetimes (Kessler et al. 2010).

The spacecrafts' lifetime was just in the second peak period of the 23rd solar cycle which includes two peaks and the solar activity value F10.7 was from 89 to 228.

We conclude with the recommendation that, should pressure to extend spacecraft design lifetime continue, satellite manufacturers should explore opportunities to lease their spacecraft to operators, or to take a stake in the ownership of the asset on orbit.

Advantages and drawbacks of each mission concept are assessed, and a comparison in terms of high-latitude coverage and distance, spacecraft mass, payload and lifetime is presented.

For these reasons, SEP works well in the vacuum of space, particularly on spacecraft with long mission lifetimes.

Our results identify a number of situations for which satellite operators would be better served by spacecraft with shorter design lifetimes.
