説明

The development of a new software for spacecraft plasma interactions modeling was started in Europe at the end of 2002. This Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software (SPIS) is developed for and by SPINE community (Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Network in Europe) on an open source basis. The ESA contractors, ONERA and Artenum, are in charge of the development of SPIS framework and main numerical modules. In the framework of this collaborative development, SPINE community has several roles. It first expressed its requirements. It is now testing and validating the code on challenging test cases, and is starting to develop extra modules. The software framework is based on the integration or interfacing with available open source tools for CAD, 2D meshing, 3D meshing, GUI, post-processing and graphical display. The numerical routines allow the modeling of the plasma dynamics (kinetic or fluid, electrostatic with possible extension to electromagnetic) and its coupling with the spacecraft (equivalent circuit approach). The modeling of all types of environments and devices is supported (LEO/GEO/PEO..., EP/solar arrays...). The emphasis was put on the modularity of the code to allow the interoperability of the modules, through an object-oriented (OO) approach throughout the code (Java language, Jython script language). Requirements and design of SPIS code were defined during the first semester of 2003. The first version of the code was released in spring 2004, and extended versions later in 2004 and 2005. This paper mostly focuses on the numerical core of the solvers and their OO architecture.
