“…Initially, research efforts on remediation were directed at the trapped energetic electrons [Imhof et al, 1983;Inan et al, 1984Inan et al, , 2003Kulkarni et al, 2008], since they are the preponderant product of High-Altitude Nuclear Explosions (HANEs) [Brown and Gabbe, 1963;Mozer et al, 1963;Pieper, 1963]. The possible utilization of man-made whistler waves for this purpose has been studied extensively, and a space test of a linear antenna is expected to launch in 2016 [Spanjers et al, 2006;Scherbarth et al, 2009]. Both energetic electrons and protons, however, represent a great hazard to spacecraft.…”
