TL;DR: In this article, an ion model for the outer magnetosphere developed for scheduling periods when the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) instrument onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory can be safely moved into the focal plane position required for science observations is presented.

TL;DR: The International Space Station (ISS) has two plasma contactors that emit the electron currents needed to balance electron collection by the lattice of bare rods on the solar array masts as mentioned in this paper.

Charged particle environment for NGST: model development
TL;DR: In this article, an engineering-level phenomenology code (LRAD) was developed to facilitate the definition of charged particle environments in the vicinity of the L2 point in support of the NGST program.

TL;DR: The International Space Station (ISS) regularly passes through the southern auroral oval south of Australia and the largest electron currents exceed 0.1 A at times as mentioned in this paper, which can be converted to an estimate of plasma density and calibrated using floating potential probe (FPP) and other data.

TL;DR: In a subsequent anomaly investigation, it was determined that moderately low-energy protons (or other ions) propagated through the mirror assembly, causing the observed damage as mentioned in this paper, and steps were taken to prevent further performance degradation by magnetospheric and solar-wind protons and other ions.
