Spacecraft Floating Potential Measurements for the Wind Spacecraft

Analysis of 8,804,545 electron velocity distribution functions, observed by the Wind spacecraft near 1 au between 2005 January 1 and 2022 January 1, was performed to determine the spacecraft floating potential, ϕ _sc . Wind was designed to be electrostatically clean, which helps keep the magnitude o...
