Evaluating the impact of radio frequency transmission in vehicle fairings is important to sensitive spacecraft. This study employs the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM) feature of a commercial electromagnetic tool, FEKO, to model the fairing electromagnetic environment in the presence of an internal transmitter. This work is an extension of the bare aluminum fairing perfect electric conductor (PEC) model. This fairing model includes typical acoustic blanketing commonly used in vehicle fairings. Representative surface material models within FEKO were successfully applied to simulate the test case.
