Space Station Freedom structure floating potential and the probability of arcingThe interaction between a space system and the space environment has been one of the driving questions for the design of spacecraft since the dawn of the space age. The Space Station Freedom will represent a significant increase in spacecraft size, power, and activity relative to spacecraft that are currently in orbit. The structure floating potential on Space Station Freedom is studied with simple analytical models of the current collection. The probability of arcing due to dielectric breakdown is assessed.
