Charging analysis of the SCATHA satelliteA detailed model of the geometrical, material, and electrical properties of the SCATHA satellite for use with the NASA charging analyzer program is described. Charging calculations in an intense magnetospheric substorm environment demonstrated that: (1) long booms can significantly perturb the potentials near the spacecraft, and (2) discharging by sunlight or by active control can cause serious time-dependent differential charging problems.
