Validation of the Plasma Densities and Temperatures From the ISS Floating Potential Measurement Unit The validation of the floating potential measurement unit (FPMU) plasma density and temperature measurements is an important step in the process of evaluating International Space Station (ISS) spacecraft charging issues including vehicle arcing and hazards to crew during extravehicular activities. The highest potentials observed on the Space Station are due to the combined Vsp times B effects on a large spacecraft and the collection of ionospheric electron and ion currents by the 160-V U.S. solar array modules. The ionospheric plasma environment is needed for input to the ISS spacecraft charging models used to predict the severity and frequency of occurrence of ISS charging hazards. The validation of these charging models requires the comparison of their predictions with measured FPMU values. The FPMU measurements themselves must also be validated for use in manned flight safety work. This paper presents preliminary results from a comparison of densities and temperatures derived from the FPMU Langmuir probes and plasma impedance probe with the independent density and temperature measurements from a spaceborne ultraviolet imager, a ground-based incoherent scatter radar, and ionosonde sites.

In-situ observations of the Ionospheric F2-Region from the International Space Station The International Space Station orbit provides an ideal platform for in-situ studies of space weather effects on the mid and low latitude F-2 region ionosphere. The Floating Potential Measurement Unit (FPMU) operating on the ISS since Aug 2006, is a suite of plasma instruments: a Floating Potential Probe (FPP), a Plasma Impedance Probe (PIP), a Wide-sweep Langmuir Probe (WLP), and a Narrow-sweep Langmuir Probe (NLP). This instrument package provides a new opportunity for collaborative multi-instrument studies of the F-region ionosphere during both quiet and disturbed periods. This presentation first describes the operational parameters for each of the FPMU probes and shows examples of an intra-instrument validation. We then show comparisons with the plasma density and temperature measurements derived from the TIMED GUVI ultraviolet imager, the Millstone Hill ground based incoherent scatter radar, and DIAS digisondes, Finally we show one of several observations of night-time equatorial density holes demonstrating the capabilities of the probes for monitoring mid and low latitude plasma processes.

Validation of ISS Floating Potential Measurement Unit Electron Densities and Temperatures Validation of the Floating Potential Measurement Unit (FPMU) electron density and temperature measurements is an important step in the process of evaluating International Space Station spacecraft charging issues .including vehicle arcing and hazards to crew during extravehicular activities. The highest potentials observed on Space Station are due to the combined VxB effects on a large spacecraft and the collection of ionospheric electron and ion currents by the 160 V US solar array modules. Ionospheric electron environments are needed for input to the ISS spacecraft charging models used to predict the severity and frequency of occurrence of ISS charging hazards. Validation of these charging models requires comparing their predictions with measured FPMU values. Of course, the FPMU measurements themselves must also be validated independently for use in manned flight safety work. This presentation compares electron density and temperatures derived from the FPMU Langmuir probes and Plasma Impedance Probe against the independent density and temperature measurements from ultraviolet imagers, ground based incoherent scatter radar, and ionosonde sites.
