Electric sensors, space detectors, principle.Abstract
With the development of science and technologies, there are increasingly number of devices used for space applications in recent years. As a matter of fact, any state-of-art space detectors will have thousands of electric devices in order to realize fine controlling. With this in mind, the topics of this paper focus on electric sensors and space detectors contemporarily. To be specifically, this study will also introduce principles, components and functions of three electric sensors for different use in space exploration. Based on the data analysis, the research results show that although different types of electric sensors are used for space applications, limitations and restrictions still exist in electric sensors whereas some of them will be addressed and improved in the future due to advanced technologies. The research significance of this paper is to associate electric devices as well as space probes and discuss the limitation and future outlooks of them.
