Design and Fabrication of Satellite Electron Beam System,

Abstract

A satellite electron beam system was designed and fabricated using the Machlett Laboratories, Inc., Model EE-65 Electron Gun. The design accommodates six levels of beam current, six levels of beam energy, three focus anode levels as a percentage of beam energy, and operation in a pulsed mode synchronous with the space vehicle PCM system. All instrument operating modes are ground commandable with no automatic sequential modes of operation. (Author)
