Introduction

Purpose

This meeting has been held on 7 and 8 December 2005.

Progress on the development of the open source SPIS code and community collaboration tools will be presented on 7 December while progress of the Working Group 3 activities on spacecraft charging will be presented on 8 December.

Key-words: spacecraft charging, CAD for space engineering, libre source, space environment, harmonisation, Open source software.
