Electron collection by multiple objects within a single sheathNASCAP/LEO, a computer program for the three-dimensional simulation of high-voltage surfaces with plasma, has been developed as a tool in the design of reliable, high-power spacecraft. NASCAP/LEO computes the potentials using analytic formulations for space charge, and only uses particle tracking to compute the current to the surfaces. Carruth's (1987) experimental results agree with the NASCAP/LEO simulations for the cases of both individual and overlapping sheaths.
