Customer ServiceSpacecraft charging, defined as the buildup of charge in and on spacecraft materials, is a significant phenomenon for spacecraft in certain Earth and other planetary environments.
Typically, the time scale of the surface charging (frame potential of spacecraft with respect to plasma) is less than one second (though differential potentials between surfaces can take hours to be established) and that of the internal charging is longer than one hour.
Spacecraft charging occurs when charged particles from the surrounding plasma and energetic particle environment stop on the spacecraft, either on the surface, on interior parts, in dielectrics, or in conductors. Other factors affecting charging include biased solar arrays or plasma emitters.
The rate of charging in the interior of the spacecraft (e.g., after propagation through shielding) is a function of the flux versus energy, or spectrum, of the plasma at energies well in excess of the mean plasma energies (for GEO, the plasma mean energy may reach a few 10s of keV).
Launched in 1979, the SCATHA satellite is another major source of spacecraft charging data. In addition to numerous experiments for measuring and controlling spacecraft charging, SCATHA measured the space environment between 5.5 and 7.7 Re for a number of years.
The fundamental physical process for all spacecraft charging is that of current balance; at equilibrium, all currents sum to zero. The potential at which equilibrium is achieved is the potential of the surface with respect to the space plasma ground.
