We describe experimental and theoretical research related to the mitigation of spacecraft charging by the release of neutral gas through specially designed nozzles. The experiments were conducted in the large Space Physics Simulation Chamber (SPSC) at the Naval Research Laboratory. A realistic near-Earth space environment can be simulated in this device for which minimum scaling needs to be performed to relate the data to space plasma regimes. The environment of the SPSC is similar to that encountered by spacecraft in low Earth orbit. The experimental arrangement consists of an aluminum cylinder which can be biased to high voltage (0.4
