Measurement of energetic particle radiation at the synchronous altitude aboard ATS-6. Interim report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7279695
; ;
The Aerospace Corporation energetic electron--proton spectrometer operating on ATS-6 is described. This experiment detects energetic electrons in four channels between 140 keV and greater than 3.9 MeV, measures energetic protons in five energy channels between 2.3 and 80 MeV and energetic alpha particles in three channels between 9.4 and 94 MeV. After more than a year of operation in orbit, the experiment continues to return excellent data on the behavior of energetic magnetospheric electrons as well as information regarding the fluxes of solar protons and alpha particles.
