14th SPINE Meeting to prepare modelling capabilities in support of plasma instruments for Cosmic Vision Access to presentations Background: Spacecraft plasma interactions (especially spacecraft charging and contamination by secondary particles) can strongly perturb plasma and particle measurements in space. Therefore, modelling these interaction is important for optimising the design of plasma instruments and their location…

25 July 2005, Centre de Palais des Congres Pierre Baudis, Toulouse, France. Announcement and call for abstracts Active and passive spacecraft systems interact with the plasma environment via various processes which may lead to changes of electrostatic potential, electrical currents, induced plasma, sparks, torques and forces. On one hand these effects can be a limiting…
