Spacecraft Charging of the Morazán MRZ-SAT Satellite in Low Earth Orbit: Initial Results on the Influence of Energetic Electron Anisotropy on Differential Charging
Raphael Bertrand-Delgado, Ravindra Desai, Fernando Zorto-Aguilera +2
The advent of the modular CubeSat satellite architecture has heralded a revolution in satellite missions, drastically lowering the technical and financial barriers to space. Surfac…
Cassini's floating potential in Titan's ionosphere: 3-D Particle-In-Cell Simulations
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra Desai, Oleg Shebanits +2
Accurate determination of Cassini's spacecraft potential in Titan's ionosphere is important for interpreting measurements by its low energy plasma instruments. Estimates of the flo…
Simulating secondary electron and ion emission from the Cassini spacecraft in Saturn's ionosphere
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra T. Desai, Oleg Shebanits +3
The Cassini spacecraft's Grand Finale flybys through Saturn's ionosphere provided unprecedented insight into the composition and dynamics of the gas giant's upper atmosphere and a…
Particle-In-Cell Simulations of the Cassini Spacecraft's Interaction with Saturn's Ionosphere during the Grand Finale
Zeqi Zhang, Ravindra T. Desai, Yohei Miyake +2
A surprising and unexpected phenomenon observed during Cassini's Grand Finale was the spacecraft charging to positive potentials in Saturn's ionosphere. Here, the ionospheric plasm…
