Innovative Space Systems Projects and Research Contributions

Numerical Calculations of Charging Threshold at GEO Altitudes

Surface charging at geosynchronous altitudes poses significant risks to spacecraft, often linked to extreme charging events during substorms. By employing a two-temperature q-non-extensive distribution function, we developed an improved current balance equation that better predicts charging thresholds compared to Maxwellian models.
