The NASA charging analyzer program (NASCAP) is a three dimensional, finite element computer code capable of simulating the electrostatic charging of an arbitrary body either in a ground test tank or in the space environment. The code incorporated surface property parameters needed to simulate insulating and conducting materials. These parameters are being updated as required to bring the NASCAP predictions into correspondence with data from ground tests. NASCAP predictions are also being compared with data from the ATS 5 spacecraft. The significance of these results is discussed.
