It will cause some problems like improper way of lightning protection and improper height of lightning rod in the design for direct lightning flash protection of satellite antenna, which may increase the probability of lightning strike, due to the lack of express provisions in relevant standards about satellite antenna lightning protection level and direct lightning flash protection ways. A way was presented for the determination of lightning protection level based on probability and risk assessment of lighting through a specific instance, by comparing the probability of lightning, costs and difficulties for construction between two different types of lightning protection ways under the same conditions for indirect lightning protection, an appropriate way was proposed for direct lightning flash protection by using lightning rod installed on the satellite antenna.
