Solar Flares and Magnetospheric Particles: Investigations Based upon the ONR-60 Experiments and ONR-604 Experiments.

Abstract

The project involves analysis of the data returned from the ONR-602 (Phoenix-1) experiment on the S81-1 in mission in 1982, correlation of the Phoenix-1 dataset with other measurements and scientific planning for the launch and operation of a 'sister experiment,' ONR-604, on the CRES mission. During the past year significant progress was made in understanding the ONR-602 instrument performance and the dataset, in analyzing the low energy protons observed in the equatorial belt, in summarizing solar energetic particle observations, and in working with the CRRES/SPACERAD Science Team.
