Spaceborne Accelerators Portfolio
MeV-range, satellite-mounted electron accelerators are needed for various space-related applications, such measuring the coupling between the magnetotail and ionosphere. The technologies and design approaches being developed for spaceborne accelerators emphasize high reliability, high average power, flexible operation, efficient power use, and operation from low-voltage DC power supplies. These same attributes are also relevant to industrial processing and inspection as well as medical applications.
