The effects of photoelectron space charge and current density on differentially charged spacecraft are studied. The steady-state potentials of a sunlit cylinder are calculated using a two-dimensional computer code with a fully self-consistent treatment of space charge and an effective surface conductivity treatment of photoelectron currents. It is found that under conditions of strong differential charging the results do not differ greatly from NASCAP results, which neglect photosheath space charge and currents.
