Scientific paper

The Swedish Viking satellite was designed to study space plasma phenomena, particularly processes producing auroras, near the Earth and in the ionosphere and magnetosphere. It studies auroral particle acceleration regions; sources of auroral particles; energy transfer in the magnetosphere; kilometer waves; and polar cap arcs. Instruments include an ultraviolet imager, plasma probes, and a flux gate magnetometer.
