Prototype Instrumentation and Design Studies
Abstract
Flight prototype sensor systems using spherical sections and electrostatic deflection are being developed, fabricated, tested and calibrated. The detectors will measure the flux of ions and electrons over a 100 degree x 10 degree angular fan and in 32 discrete energy levels from 10 eV to 10 KeV. This report describes the sensor system design for an instrument package for shuttle flight as well as studies being performed investigating the feasibility of using strip detectors to produce multiangular solid state detector for high energy particles and the use of time of flight techniques for mass determination and a correlator to look for wave-particle interactions.
