SPIS
Spacecraft-Plasma interaction Software
SPIS is the world-leading spacecraft charging simulation code. It is mainly developed by ONERA and Artenum, with contributions from major European space industries and academic institutions gathered in the SPINE community and with funding from European anf French space agencies. SPIS primary aims at computing the charge level of spacecraft surfaces exposed to the space environment, but it was extended over years to handle plasma physics (in particular rfor the accurate simulation of electric thruster plume), radiation induced charge and conductivity, micro-physics of the discharge, charge and transport of dusts and droplets,... SPIS is a modular open-source software.
