Abstract
The space charge region surrounding a highly charged, electron collecting, spacecraft moving in the ionospheric plasma, can be divided into an inner zone (close to the spacecraft), where electron collection is isotropic with respect to the magnetic-field direction, and an outer zone where the electrons are mainly collected along magnetic field lines. In this paper we outline a theory to obtain the current voltage characteristic of such a positive satellite. It is shown that the theoretical results compare very favorably with the experimental data obtained by the TSS-1R mission.
