Spacecraft Charging

Spacecraft Charging is the phenomenon in which a spacecraft accumulates electric charge on its surfaces or within its materials due to the differential collection of charged particles from the surrounding space plasma environment, distinguishing it from other space-environment interactions by its direct impact on spacecraft electrostatic potential and associated risk of electrostatic discharge.
