A field effect spacecraft neutralizer for the LISA Pathfinder mission
We outline the design, construction and testing of a field effect neutralizer, which provides a source of up to 6 mA of electron emission to maintain charge neutrality for the LISA Pathfinder mission spacecraft. The low mass, low power neutralizer uses silicon field emitter arrays and has been engin...
