Scientific paper

The primary purposes of the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracing Explorers (AMPTE) program are (1) to carry out the release and monitoring of lithium and barium ions in the solar wind and within the distant magnetosphere in order to study the access of solar wind ions to the magnetosphere, the convective-diffusive transport and energization of magnetospheric particles, and the instabilities and wave-particle interactions associated with the releases and the subsequent evolution of the injected clouds, and (2) to generate massive releases of barium in the dawn magnetosheath in order to create visible artificial comets in the flowing solar wind plasma within which studies of diamagnetic effects, ionization, momentum exchange, ion transport, and visible phenomena can be made. Complete descriptions of the three spacecraft involved in the AMPTE program, the Charge Composition Explorer (CCE), the Ion Release Module (IRM), and the United Kingdom Subsatellite (UKS) and the experiments on the spacecraft will be included in the May 1985 issue of IEEE Transacations on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. The AMPTE program is a collaborative effort involving the United States, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom.
