Abstract

During their operational time, spacecraft are exposed to numerous factors, which are specific to the space environment. Spacecraft designing is a complex scientific and technical problem, which solution necessarily requires taking into account the possible effect of these factors on the structural elements and systems of the vehicle, including protective means in its concept and ensuring its functioning in the expected operational conditions. This paper presents a review of the main space environment factors, which affects the spacecraft, defines global trends in the protection systems’ development and substantiation of the perspective protection system’s technical configuration
