MEASUREMENTS OF LOW ENERGY ELECTRON PRECIPITATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AURORAL DISTURBANCES AND TRAPPED RADIATION BELTS.
Abstract
An electrostatic analyzer designed to detect the spectrum and angular distribution of electrons in the regions explored by a high elliptical orbiting satellite is described. Details of the instrument's operation and calibration are given, along with its integration into the satellite. Integration of an instrument payload into the Astrobee 200 rocket system is described. Aerobee flights of three electronic analyzers into an aurora are described, and the data from these flights analyzed. (Author)
