2. Estimating Charging on a Sounding Rocket Experiment Using Plasma Simulation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The aim of this project is to model current volt-age characteristic curves for different plasma conditions (i.eelectron density, electron temperature, ion temperature andplasma potential) that can be found in active auroras. This isdone by simulating the charging of a FFU with a connectedLangmuir probe in the software SPIS. READ MORE
