The HOPE mass spectrometer of the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission (renamed the Van Allen Probes) is designed to measure the in situ plasma ion and electron fluxes over 4π sr at each RBSP spacecraft within the terrestrial radiation belts. The scientific goal is to understand the underlying physical processes that govern the radiation belt structure and dynamics. Spectral measurements for both ions and electrons are acquired over 1 eV to 50 keV in 36 log-spaced steps at an energy resolution ΔE FWHM/E≈15 %. The dominant ion species (H+, He+, and O+) of the magnetosphere are identified using foil-based time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry with channel electron multiplier (CEM) detectors. Angular measurements are derived using five polar pixels coplanar with the spacecraft spin axis, and up to 16 azimuthal bins are acquired for each polar pixel over time as the spacecraft spins. Ion and electron measurements are acquired on alternate spacecraft spins. HOPE incorporates several new methods to minimize and monitor the background induced by penetrating particles in the harsh environment of the radiation belts. The absolute efficiencies of detection are continuously monitored, enabling precise, quantitative measurements of electron and ion fluxes and ion species abundances throughout the mission. We describe the engineering approaches for plasma measurements in the radiation belts and present summaries of HOPE measurement strategy and performance. 相似文献

The Genesis Ion Monitor (GIM) and the Genesis Electron Monitor (GEM) provide 3-dimensional plasma measurements of the solar
wind for the Genesis mission. These measurements are used onboard to determine the type of plasma that is flowing past the
spacecraft and to configure the solar wind sample collection subsystems in real-time. Both GIM and GEM employ spherical-section
electrostatic analyzers followed by channel electron multiplier (CEM) arrays for detection and angle and energy/charge analysis
of incident ions and electrons. GIM is of a new design specific to Genesis mission requirements whereas the GEM sensor is
an almost exact copy of the plasma electron sensors currently flying on the ACE and Ulysses spacecraft, albeit with new electronics
and programming. Ions are detected at forty log-spaced energy levels between ∼ 1 eV and 14 keV by eight CEM detectors, while
electrons with energies between ∼ 1 eV and 1.4 keV are measured at twenty log-spaced energy levels using seven CEMs. The spin
of the spacecraft is used to sweep the fan-shaped fields-of-view of both instruments across all areas of the sky of interest,
with ion measurements being taken forty times per spin and samples of the electron population being taken twenty four times
per spin. Complete ion and electron energy spectra are measured every ∼ 2.5 min (four spins of the spacecraft) with adequate
energy and angular resolution to determine fully 3-dimensional ion and electron distribution functions. The GIM and GEM plasma
measurements are principally used to enable the operational solar wind sample collection goals of the Genesis mission but
they also provide a potentially very useful data set for studies of solar wind phenomena, especially if combined with other
solar wind data sets from ACE, WIND, SOHO and Ulysses for multi-spacecraft investigations.

The Plasma Experiment for Planetary Exploration (PEPE) flown on Deep Space 1 combines an ion mass spectrometer and an electron
spectrometer in a single, low-resource instrument. Among its novel features PEPE incorporates an electrostatically swept field-of-view
and a linear electric field time-of-flight mass spectrometer. A significant amount of effort went into developing six novel
technologies that helped reduce instrument mass to 5.5 kg and average power to 9.6 W. PEPE’s performance was demonstrated
successfully by extensive measurements made in the solar wind and during the DS1 encounter with Comet 19P/Borrelly in September
2001.

Medium energy neutral atom (MENA) imager for the IMAGE mission 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The Medium Energy Neutral Atom (MENA) imager was developed in response to the Imaging from the Magnetopause to the Aurora for Global Exploration (IMAGE) requirement to produce images of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) in the energy range from 1 to 30 keV. These images will be used to infer characteristics of magnetospheric ion distributions. The MENA imager is a slit camera that images incident ENAs in the polar angle (based on a conventional spherical coordinate system defined by the spacecraft spin axis) and utilizes the spacecraft spin to image in azimuth. The speed of incident ENAs is determined by measuring the time-of-flight (TOF) from the entrance aperture to the detector. A carbon foil in the entrance aperture yields secondary electrons, which are imaged using a position-sensitive Start detector segment. This provides both the one-dimensional (1D) position at which the ENA passed through the aperture and a Start time for the TOF system. Impact of the incident ENA on the 1D position-sensitive Stop detector segment provides both a Stop-timing signal and the location that the ENA impacts the detector. The ENA incident polar angle is derived from the measured Stop and Start positions. Species identification (H vs. O) is based on variation in secondary electron yield with mass for a fixed ENA speed. The MENA imager is designed to produce images with 8°×4° angular resolution over a field of view 140°×360°, over an energy range from 1 keV to 30 keV. Thus, the MENA imager is well suited to conduct measurements relevant to the Earth's ring current, plasma sheet, and (at times) magnetosheath and cusp. 相似文献

The primary goal of the Genesis Mission is to collect solar wind ions and, from their analysis, establish key isotopic ratios
that will help constrain models of solar nebula formation and evolution. The ratios of primary interest include 17O/16O and 18O/16O to ±0.1%, 15N/14N to ±1%, and the Li, Be, and B elemental and isotopic abundances. The required accuracies in N and O ratios cannot be achieved
without concentrating the solar wind and implanting it into low-background target materials that are returned to Earth for
analysis. The Genesis Concentrator is designed to concentrate the heavy ion flux from the solar wind by an average factor
of at least 20 and implant it into a target of ultra-pure, well-characterized materials. High-transparency grids held at high
voltages are used near the aperture to reject >90% of the protons, avoiding damage to the target. Another set of grids and
applied voltages are used to accelerate and focus the remaining ions to implant into the target. The design uses an energy-independent
parabolic ion mirror to focus ions onto a 6.2 cm diameter target of materials selected to contain levels of O and other elements
of interest established and documented to be below 10% of the levels expected from the concentrated solar wind. To optimize
the concentration of the ions, voltages are constantly adjusted based on real-time solar wind speed and temperature measurements
from the Genesis ion monitor. Construction of the Concentrator required new developments in ion optics; materials; and instrument
testing and handling.

Two Wide-angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) is a NASA Explorer Mission-of-Opportunity to stereoscopically image the Earth’s magnetosphere for the first time. TWINS extends our understanding of magnetospheric structure and processes by providing simultaneous Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) imaging from two widely separated locations. TWINS observes ENAs from 1–100 keV with high angular (~4°×4°) and time (~1-minute) resolution. The TWINS Ly-α monitor measures the geocoronal hydrogen density to aid in ENA analysis while environmental sensors provide contemporaneous measurements of the local charged particle environments. By imaging ENAs with identical instruments from two widely spaced, high-altitude, high-inclination spacecraft, TWINS enables three-dimensional visualization of the large-scale structures and dynamics within the magnetosphere for the first time. This “instrument paper” documents the TWINS design, construction, calibration, and initial results. Finally, the appendix of this paper describes and documents the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) instrument calibration facility; this facility was used for all TWINS instrument-level calibrations. 相似文献
