Spacecraft Charging during Docking Operations in the Outer Radiation BeltSpacecraft charging can occur when a spacecraft vehicle is subject to space plasma environments and varying sunlit conditions. The trajectory of the spacecraft will determine the specific impinging environment while the spacecraft geometry and material properties determine the susceptibility to various charging issues. In general, spacecraft charging is separated into two categories, surface charging (~<100 keV) and internal charging (~>100keV).
