This is the introductory chapter of the book, which documents engineering guidelines and design practices that can be used by spacecraft designers to minimize the detrimental effects of spacecraft surface and internal charging in certain space environments. In‐space charging effects are caused by interactions between the in‐flight plasma environment and spacecraft materials and electronic subsystems. Possible detrimental effects of spacecraft charging include disruption of or damage to subsystems because of field buildup and electrostatic discharge as a result of a spacecraft's passage through the space plasma and high‐energy particle environments. The book details the methods necessary to mitigate both in‐flight surface and internal charging concerns as the physics and design solutions for both are often similar. aerospace materials; design engineering
