Nascap-2k Version 4.4 Scientific Documentation

Abstract

Nascap-2k is a spacecraft charging and plasma interactions code designed to be used by spacecraft designers, aerospace and materials engineers, and space plasma environments experts to study the effects of both the natural and spacecraft-generated plasma environments on spacecraft systems. This document describes the user interface, how to use the code, and some of the physical assumptions of the computation models included in the code.
