OSTI ID:5056840
During the 1970's, the Air Force developed an ion beam source for use in spacecraft discharging experiments. In addition to the flight instruments, several models were developed for laboratory tests conducted at the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory. Over the past several years, the research methods used for the Satellite Positive Ion Beam System (SPIBS) tests have evolved from manual techniques for experiment control and data recording to the present use of a real-time, computer-based system.
