Scientific paper

A study has been undertaken to evaluate the effect of material selection on surface charging of GEO satellites. A generic communications satellite, primarily covered with dielectrics, is used as the baseline for this analysis. The substorm environment has both a charging and a relaxation phase. Once the charging characteristics are computed, the materials are changed, one type at a time, to determine the effect of a change. It was found that dark conductors cause increased charging while sunlit conductive coating reduce charging. Photoemission properties are important when considering large conductive areas of satellites.
