Investigators have reported existence of electric current in exhaust plumes of rocket engines and have speculated that this current could generate sufficiently high electrostatic potential on vehicles in space to interfere with or damage electronic subsystems or instrumentation; paper identifies source of observed current, calculates its magnitude as function of engine parameters, and demonstrates that rocket plume itself can discharge vehicle in space and prevent buildup of dangerous potentials.
