The requirement of satellite systems to survive in the space environment for 5 to 10 years to achieve greater cost effectiveness is discussed. Characterization of the orbital space environment and its effects on spacecraft systems have received considerable research attention. Instrumentation for long term measurement of key physical parameters characterizing the low Earth orbit (LEO) environment and its effects on degradation of spacecraft materials and solar arrays is reported. These measurements enable active, real time monitoring of the health of spacecraft and payload systems. SAMMES is designed to be autonomous, compact, low power, and lightweight.
