DOI: 10.1109/tps.2018.2798297
Abstract: Although spacecraft charging in low Earth orbit is generally regarded as insignificant because the cold dense ionospheric plasma prevents the development of strong potential differences, scientific satellites (e.g., Centre National d’Études Spatiales TARANIS satellite) carry… read more here.
