Grounding electronics in space is a complex issue, as traditional grounding methods used on Earth, like connecting to the Earth’s conductive surface, are not applicable. Instead, spacecraft often rely on the vehicle's chassis as a common ground, similar to how a car operates. Virtual grounding techniques may also be utilized to manage electrical potential differences in the absence of a physical ground. Proper grounding is crucial to prevent electrical shocks and protect sensitive equipment from damage. Understanding these methods is essential for the safe operation of electronics in the unique environment of space.
