Zusammenfassung:Device (30) and method of protecting a satellite from undesired electrical disturbances without significantly increasing the satellite's weight are described. The device (30) includes two faraday cage structures (32, 34) around the electronic units of the satellite. The two structures (32, 34) are electrically connected via shielded wires (64) to create one continuous faraday cage. Signals from components located outside the faraday cage to the electronic units are made through filter assemblies (40). The filter assemblies (40) electronically filter undesired signals before routing desired signals to their destination.
