This paper describes an experimental and theoretical research effort related to the mitigation of spacecraft charging by Neutral Gas Release (NGR). The Space Power Experiments Aboard Rockets programs (SPEAR I and III) [Mandel et al., 1998; Berg et al., 1995] and other earlier efforts have demonstrated that NGR is an effective method of controlling discharges in space. The laboratory experimentswere conducted in the large volume Space Physics Simulation Chamber (SPSC) at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). A realistic near-earth space environment can be simulated in this device for whichminimumscalingneeds to be performedtorelate the data to space plasma regimes. This environment is similar to that encountered by LEO spacecraft, e.g., the Space Station, Shuttle, and high inclination satellites. The experimental arrangement consists of an aluminum cylinder which can be biased to high negative voltage (0.4 kV
