Modernization in space systems requires employment of new
light-weight, high performance composite materials that reduce bulk
weight and increase structural integrity. This thesis explored the
behavior of one such material prior to and following a 35-year
simulated space radiation life-cycle. Select electrical properties
of nickel nanostrandTM-carbon composites in seven configurations
were characterized prior to electron irradiation via surface and
bulk resistivity measurements and contact electrostatic discharge
(ESD) measurements. Following irradiation at a fluence of 1016
e-/cm2 at an average energy of 500 keV, measurements were repeated
and compared against pre-irradiation data. Configuration D is the
best configuration tested for use as a satellite external surface
material. All composite configurations tested in this research
showed degradation in critical electrical properties when examined
in the aggregate.
