Active spacecraft potential control for Cluster – implementation and first results

Active spacecraft potential control for Cluster – implementation and first results

Electrostatic charging of a spacecraft modifies the distribution of electrons and ions before the particles enter the sensors mounted on the spacecraft body. The floating potential of magnetospheric satellites in sunlight very often reaches several tens of volts, making measurements of the c...
