Final structure of the potential around the spacecraft body is shown for simulation run A (top row) and run B (bottom row) at time t=1.5 s. The left and middle columns show the 2D cuts in the XY and XZ planes, respectively. The right column shows potential profiles along the X (blue), Y (green), and Z (orange) axes as a function of the distance from the virtual SWA-EAS detector. The dashed line in the right panel displays the final surface spacecraft potential and the dotted line line shows the background (zero) plasma potential for reference.
