Electrostatic discharge (ESD) due to the radiation environment encountered during spaceflight missions is a serious risk that must be mitigated by careful testing and design considerations. The MSFC Space Environmental Effects (SEE) Team has world-class facilities for ESD testing along with decades of experience. The Team has recently conducted successful campaigns for several high-profile projects including Europa Clipper, Exploration Upper Stage, Lunar Gateway, Orion, Docking System, and Human Landing System. This presentation will give a brief overview of ESD causes, hazards, test methods and test deliverables.
