Development, Fabrication and Service of Instruments for Use in Electrical Structures and Related Space Flight Measurements.

Abstract

The goals established at the onset of this program were fourfold: (1) design and fabricate, (a) a spherical electron sensor, (b) a planar ion sensor, (2) design and fabricate a low voltage power converted, (3) design and develop a nine (9) but successive approximation ADC, (4) design and build suitable test equipment for thorough testing of the SS/IE plasma electronics. The most noteworthy achievement concern the variety of assembly techniques that were tried and failed in the assembly phase of the planar and spherical sensors. This phase pointed out that the simpler a technique is, the more reliable and easier it is. (Author)
