MPS-Lo Instrument Overview and Recommendations
MPS-Lo brings a crucial capability to characterize surface charging environments in the satellite industry. The NCEI team has made significant efforts and SWPC highly values their work. Software corrections are underway to enhance data quality, but challenges like contamination and sensitivity degradation persist. SWPC recommends continued efforts to maintain and improve data quality, as MPS-Lo transitions to Full Validation status.

G16/17 MPS-Lo Full Validation PS-PVR SWPC Overview MPS-Lo brings an important new capability that will characterize the surface- charging environment and address an important satellite industry need MPS-Lo is a complicated instrument that requires significant effort The NCEI team has done an excellent job characterizing the instrument and implementing many of the corrective measures Software corrections have been identified that can address most issues and will enable useful flux measurements Issues remain, such as out-of-band contamination and sensitivity degradation, that will require ongoing effort SWPC is highly appreciative of the excellent work and diligence provided by NCEI, as well as the support provided by ATC and the entire GOES project SWPC concurs with NCEI s recommendation for MPS-Lo to transition to Full Validation status, and we recommend continued effort to maintain and improve the data quality
GOES-R+ Workshop Recommendations Compilation of databases of spacecraft anomalies attributed to the space environment Study sponsored by the National Security Space Architect Workshop recommended low energy electron and proton measurements to support spacecraft anomaly resolution related to surface charging (electostatic discharge (ESD)) and to monitor radiation dose to surfaces and surface damage. 3
Space Environment Engineering and Science Applications Workshop Aerospace Report No. ATR-2019-00431, 2019 The highest priority hazard is solar energetic particles and their access to the magnetosphere, followed closely by the electron plasma of the ring current, which causes surface charging. 4
National Space Weather Action Action 2.11.6: DOC, in coordination with NASA and DoD, develop a plan for a robust real-time assimilative environmental specification model such that it supports 1) Nowcasting of the space environment, and 2) Analysis and attribution of spacecraft anomalies due to routine and extreme space weather MPS-Lo will be an important data source for this data assimilative environmental model 5
