Does Spacecraft Potential Depend on the Ambient Electron Density?
© 2017 IEEE. In this paper, we address the question of whether spacecraft potential depends on the ambient electron density. In Maxwellian space plasmas, the onset of spacecraft charging does not depend on the ambient electron density. The balance of electron currents causes the incoming electrons t...
