"The possibility of spacecraft's electrodynamics shielding (EDS) against high-speed space debris has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The laboratory EDS device is made as a flat two-electrode discharge unit," scientists writing in the journal IEEE Transactions on Magnetics report.
"Its external electrode serves as the first shield in the incident particles' way while the internal electrode has a
The researchers concluded: "The comparison of theoretical discharge current integral with a real experimental value shows that the proposed notions describe the situation quite reasonably'."
Obukhov and colleagues published their study in IEEE ...
