GEOPOT08

Geo Potential 2008 Model

GEOPOT08 is a statistical model of the geosynchronous satellite charging environment for both shaded and sunlit surfaces on a spacecraft developed by H. Garrett in 2008. It can be used to assess the probability of rapid discharge events that can cause damage to satellite components.
