The employment of large structures in space, which would be necessary in connection with a number of space missions and space activities currently being contemplated, might involve special problems as a result of the interactions of the structures with the charged particle environment. Such interactions would be particularly significant in the case of high operational voltages. A review is presented of possible interactions between spacecraft surfaces and charged-particle environments. The categories of spacecraft-environmental interactions are examined and a description of spacecraft charging interactions is presented. The status of charging investigation is considered, taking into account the environment, aspects of analytical modeling, materials characterization, materials development, space flight experiments, and design guidelines. High voltage surface-plasma interactions are also investigated.
