Abstract
The choice of critical values for developing electron-stimulated discharges (ESDs) in insulator covers of spacecraft is substantiated. In addition, it is found that the error in determination of an estimated potential of the open surface of the quartz film 150 μm thick, related to changing the lower limit of integration of the bi-Maxwellian spectrum of electrons for the case of positively charged open dielectric surface relative to the substrate, was less than 12%.
