What is it about?
Solar array arcs on a GPS satellite are found to be abundant, have a specific range of durations, follow the natural charging environment, and have radio spectra like that of laboratory vacuum arcs but not like lightning or other sources of radio frequency interference. Spectra and arc duration allow unambiguous identification of solar array arcs, and charge storage times may be used to characterize and classify satellites.
