An ambitious effort to measure contamination on a highly instrumental spacecraft is being carried out. Spacecraft contamination enhancement by spacecraft charging is described. A brief summary of the motivation for and the capabilities of the Spacecraft Charging at High Altitudes (SCATHA) Spacecraft is given. The experimental approach is described and summaries are given of previous spaceflight experiments in which similar instrumentation has been used. A description of the experimental flight hardware planned for SCATHA is included.
