Spacecraft Charging, An Update

Spacecraft charging and its associated plasma interactions continue to be major issues for Earth-orbiting spacecraft. Although typically thought of as a surface effect on geosynchronous spacecraft, internal charging and low-altitude phenomena are increasingly causing concern. This review will concentrate on the problems introduced by penetrating electrons and related processes, and on issues tied to plasma/aurora.
