Electrostatic Discharge Induced Momentum Impulse From Charged Spacecraft Surfaces

Electrostatic Discharge Induced Momentum Impulse From Charged Spacecraft Surfaces

Electron beam measurements have demonstrated that ESD imparts significant impulse to the discharging surface. Impulse was shown to scale with ESD current amplitude and appears to be caused by an electrical, rather than mechanical, interaction
