Static and Dynamic Behavior of Spherical Probe and Satellite Plasma Sheaths

Ira Katz, Andrew Wilson, L. W. Parker, P. Rothwell, A. G. Rubin

Abstract

A number of electrical anomalies in satellites are ascribed to environmentally-caused charging, particularly in cases where the satellites are in geosynchronous orbits. A question which is addressed in this paper concerns the time-dependence of the interactions between spacecraft plasmas.
