Solar and cosmic ray particles will charge up the isolated LISA test masses. The interaction of the charged test mass with the conducting surfaces that surround it is one of the main sources of spurious accelerations for LISA. This presentation will describe the problems caused by test mass charging and the hardware that has been developed for the LISA technology demonstrator, LISA Pathfinder that will be used to manage this problem.
