Measurements made by surface potential monitors, contamination monitors, and electromagnetic interference monitors have successfully recorded the characteristics of satellite charging by the space environment. Differential potentials of several kilovolts have been measured between dielectric materials samples and space vehicle ground following the injection of energetic electrons around the vehicle. During some of these charging events, discharges have been detected. (Author)
