Spacecraft Interaction

Spacecraft Interaction is a theoretical framework within plasma propulsion that characterizes the dynamic interplay between a spacecraft's surface materials and the surrounding plasma environment, distinguishing itself by modeling charge accumulation, secondary electron emission, and anomalous potential formation to predict spacecraft charging effects in electric propulsion systems.
