Development of generator circuit for electron temperature and density probe (TeNeP) for mysat / Muhammad Aadam Abdul Latif
Malaysia Youth Satellite (MYSAT) adalah projek berasaskan CubeSat yang diasaskan oleh Pusat Pengajian Kejuruteraan Aeroangkasa Universiti Sains Malaysia pada tahun 2016. Objektif misi MYSAT adalah untuk mengukur ketumpatan elektron dalam lapisan E ionosfera. Misi ini didorong oleh kajian yang melaporkan bahawa prekursor gempa bumi dapat dianalisis dari ionosfera, yang membuka peluang untuk meramalkan gempa bumi masa depan. Telah didapati bahawa salah satu ciri umum yang ditunjukkan dari pengukuran data ionosfera dari beberapa gempa bumi ialah ketumpatan elektron. Kuar suhu dan ketumpatan elektron (TeNeP) adalah instrumen yang dibangunkan berdasarkan kuar Langmuir berarus terus yang boleh membantu para penyelidik mengkaji ionosfera untuk meramalkan potensi gempa bumi masa hadapan. Peranti ini mengembangkan teknik dengan mengukur ciri-ciri arus-voltan (I-V) elektrod yang direndam dalam zarah plasma tercas. Ciri I-V plasma kemudiannya akan diambil dari peranti di mana elektron plasma dan ketumpatan ion bersama-sama dengan suhu boleh diperolehi. MYSAT, sebuah Cube-Sat berdasarkan platform 1U boleh menyumbang kepada penyelidikan berterusan ini. Oleh itu, litar penjana TeNeP yang telah dibangunkan berdasarkan platform 2U perlu dikecilkan kepada platform berasaskan MYSAT 1U. Beberapa ujian prestasi dilakukan pada litar penjana TeNeP dalam persediaan misi MYSAT. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Malaysia Youth Satellite (MYSAT) is a scientific CubeSat-based project initiated by School of Aerospace Engineering Universiti Sains Malaysia in 2016. The objective of the MYSAT mission is to measure electron density in E-layer of ionosphere. This mission is driven from a study which reported that earthquake precursors can be analysed from the ionosphere, which opens the possibility in predicting future earthquakes. It was found that one of the common features shown from ionosphere data measurement from several earthquakes is the electron density. Electron temperature and density probe (TeNeP) is an instrument developed based on DC Langmuir Probe that could help researchers studies the ionosphere to potentially predict future earthquakes. The device develops a technique by measuring current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of an electrode immersed in charged plasma particles. The I-V characteristic of the plasma will then be retrieved from the device where the plasma’s electron and ion density together with the temperature can be acquired. MYSAT, a Cube-Sat based on a 1U platform could contribute into this on-going research. Hence, an already developed TeNeP generator circuit based on a 2U platform needs to be redeveloped for MYSAT’s 1U based platform. Several performance tests are performed to the TeNeP generator circuit in the preparation of the MYSAT mission.
