The paper uses the NASCAP computer code to compute voltage distributions around a Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) spacecraft as it encounters an idealized geomagnetic substorm environment. Consideration is given to both a standard operating voltage and direct-drive voltage configuration. The computations are presented without thruster operations as well as with a simplified, simulated thruster-on representation for direct-drive configuration only. Finally, it is stressed that the computations seeking possible areas of concern in the spacecraft design are exploratory.
