Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much work has been developed to the study of the differential charging of geosynchronous spacecraft, primarily that charging caused by injection events and uneven illumination of isolated surfaces. However, as the lack of illumination in the penumbra eliminates the latter problem, little attention has been paid to charging during eclipse passage. For a sufficiently large structure (length greater than 1 km), the gradient of illumination in the penumbra is large enough to contribute significantly to differential charging. In this paper, three main subjects will be discussed: (1) the causes of charging at geosynchronous altitudes; (2) a simple model of the plasma from which the differential charging equations can be derived; and (3) the results of a computer program based on these equations, together with several theoretically fit sets of equations to approximate the results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid variations in spacecraft potential are observed on entry and exit from the earth's shadow. Generalized equations, based on elementary plasma probe theory, are developed which make quantitative estimates of these potentials as a function of satellite position in the earth's penumbra, and are compared with data from the ATS-5 and ATS-6 geosynchronous satellites. The agreement between the observations and the predictions results from the approximate constancy of the ratio of the ambient ion to electron current during injection events. Due to the significant size and shape differences of the ATS-5 and ATS-6 satellites, the results are applicable in many space physics situations such as estimating the effects of electron beams on satellite potential and of spacecraft charging on very large space structures.

This book was released on 1979 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present status of low energy magnetospheric plasma interactions with space systems is reviewed. The role of predictions in meeting user needs in assessing the impact of such interactions is described. In light of the perceived needs of the user community and of the current status of modeling and prediction efforts, it is suggested that for most user needs more detailed statistical models of the low energy environment are required. In order to meet current prediction requirements, real-time in situ measurements are proposed as a near-term solution. (Author).
