Appendix J

Key Spacecraft Charging Documents

This appendix is a sampling of the many possible information sources relevant to this field. It is heavily colored by the principal author's knowledge, experience, and prejudices; and it has omitted many worthy references to keep it to a manageable size. The curious reader may dig deeper by following references in these documents. Additional, more specific sources are referenced at the end of each chapter or appendix. The various charging conference records themselves contain a wealth of technical papers.
