Spacecraft potential during an active experiment: a comparison of experimental results with a simple model

The Active Plasma Experiment (APEX) used intensive electron beam and/or a release of the low-energy Xenon plasma to study dynamic processes in the magnetosphere and upper ionosphere. It was shown by Prech et al. (1999) that the release of the Xe plasma increases the spacecraft potential when...
