Feasibility Study for a Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE)

The local environmental conditions that a spacecraft operates within may induce occasional anomalous behavior that can impact reliability and performance. The Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) is an instrument being developed to detect local environmental perturbations and provide the host spacecraft with various anomaly alerts along with confidence factors that allow the host spacecraft to conduct its operations in a manner to minimize these anomalous responses or to flag data as suspect due to local conditions. This report covers the first year of a feasibility study of this instrument.
