Abstract
This research project is concerned with the modelling of the electric charge phenomena that spacecrafts are subject to. These phenomena are sources of in-orbit failures since high potential differences induce the formation of electric arcing which can produce irreversible failures on on-board devices. The numerical simulation of such phenomena, taking into account the specificities of the space environment, is part of the conception of new spacecrafts.
