内容記述 | The Low Altitude Plasma Instrument on the Dynamics Explorer-B spacecraft provides high resolution velocity space measurements of positive ions and electrons from 5 eV to 32 keV and a monitor of electrons with energies above 35 keV. It consists of an array of 15 parabolic electrostatic analyzers spanning 180 deg in angle and two Geiger-Mueller counters mounted on a one-degree of freedom scan platform. The platform is controlled by a magnetometer that allows placement of the array to selected angles with respect to the magnetic field. Each parabolic analyzer simultaneously measures electrons and positive ions. The temporal resolution and energy range of the measurements and the detector complement to be sampled are programmable by ground command |
