Scientific paper

In-situ plasma diagnosis active wave experiments were flown on International Magnetospheric Study spacecraft: Relaxation Sounding (RS) (GEOS 1 & 2, ISEE-A) and Mutual Impedance (MI) probing (GEOS 1 & 2). The RS excites long lasting plasma resonances occuring very close to the characteristics frequencies fpe, nfce, fuh and fgn. Measurements of the electron density (Ne) and magnetic field strength (Bo) are directly obtained with very good accuracy. The M1 measures the intensity versus frequency of waves transmitted between two pairs of electrodes. A fit with a theoretical model of mutual impedance leads to estimated Ne and the electron temperature (Te). All measurements are free of spacecraft-related disturbing effects. Further diagnosis capabilities are available from modeling the fine structure of the received signals (cold and hot densities) and from monitoring refined modes of operation (sampling period/scale of Ne and Bo up to 0.086 sec/300 m in the magnetosphere from GEOS).
