Charging of spacecrafts in near-earth orbits is determined by space environment in the orbit. Dominating physical processes are different in principle for various altitudes. So, the spacecraft charging model which is based on computation of external particle fluxes on the spacecraft surface should include (a) space environment data, (b) adequate description of physical processes of surface/environment interaction including secondary processes, (c) algorithm of the spacecraft surface model construction, and (d) numerical methods for solution of the problem. In this work, we consider items (b) and (c) mainly as the most actual to be solved for simulation of spacecraft charging in various orbits. Our model of spacecraft charging in geosynchronous orbit (GEO) [1-3] was implemented in the COULOMB program package successfully used for modeling of GEO satellites [2, 3].
