Earth's outer electron radiation belt : sources, losses and predictions
… effects that the radiation belt can have on satellite instrumentation. Evidence in support of a wide range of processes has been uncovered, yet a complete understanding of the relative contribution of each processes, and how these contributions vary over time, is yet to be fully determined. …

Validation and Characterization of a Laboratory Ion Source for Testing Thermal Space-Plasma Instruments
Prior to launch, space craft instruments need to be tested in a relevant environment to prove operational functionality. Thus, we have developed an ion source to stimulate thermal plasma instruments in a vacuum chamber. This dissertation presents the mechanical design of the source, simulations of …

Alternative Mission Concepts for the Exploration of Outer Planets Using Small Satellite Swarms
… further by investigating the potential for small satellite swarms to provide extensive studies of the Saturn system. To do this, an architecture was developed to best replicate the Cassini Primary Mission science objectives using swarms of CubeSats. Cassini was chosen because of its complexity and …
