Prototype Instrumentation and Design Studies
Abstract
Flight prototype sensor systems using spherical sections and electrostatic deflection have been developed, fabricated, tested and calibrated. The detectors measure the flux of ions and electrons over a 100 deg x 10 deg angular fan and in 32 discrete energy levels from 10 eV to 10 KeV. This study describes the sensor system design for an instrument package for shuttle flight as well as a corrrelator to look for wave-particle interactions. Operating procedures for a 2.4 Gigabyte Flight Data Recorder are included.
