Abstract

We propose a method for calculating the potentials of the spacecraft surface, based on triangulation approximation of surfaces, the area method, and analytic calculations of the matrix elements of the Coulomb interaction. The technique described here has a wide range of applications including low, as well as geostationary and polar orbits, and increases the calculating speed and accuracy.
