Electromagnetic interference from discharges on spacecraft subject to the charging environment near geosynchronous orbit may interfere with communication systems on the spacecraft. We compare new measurements of the RF spectrum from the Kapton blanket from the backside of the MILSTAR spacecraft's flexible substrate solar array (FSSA) with other space and laboratory data so that they will be more readily available for the analysis of spacecraft systems. The data may be used to estimate the effects of EMI from discharges on spacecraft systems operating in the frequency range from 100 kHz to 10 GHz....
