Scientific paper

Scientific constraints on the measurement of suprathermal electron fluxes in the energy range from 1 to 500 eV in the auroral zone are discussed. These constraints are used to define the characteristics of an electrostatic analyzer to measure such fluxes. The design and calibration of such an instrument are described. Application of the instrument to measure details of atmospheric absorption of low-energy electrons by utilizing its high energy resolution and to measure detailed variations of spectrum and pitch-angle distribution by utilizing its high sensitivity are discussed with reference to a number of rocket flights made from the northern auroral zone.
