NASCAP/LEO (NASA Spacecraft Charging Analyzer Program for Low Earth Orbit) implements collection of mathematical models and algorithms designed to study electrostatic interaction between cold, dense plasma and spacecraft surfaces. Computes variety of electrostatic, plasma, and flow effects. Appropriate for conditions in which temperature of plasma small in comparison with spacecraft-generated potentials and Debye screening length short in comparison with dimensions of spacecraft. Related NASCAP/GEO (LEW-12973) code (NASA Charging Analyzer Program for Geosynchronous Orbit, denoted as NASCAP) appropriate for conditions which spacecraft differential potentials result from interactions with hot plasma and Debye screening length larger than dimensions of spacecraft. Object-definition portion of NASCAP/GEO code provided as part of package. NASCAP/LEO written in FORTRAN 77 and C language.
