Scientific paper

In this paper the X-ray experiment for ESPRIT rocket project will be described. In order to map the spatial distribution of the energetic electrons in wide regions around the rocket, we will fly a simple pinhole camera with an array of X-ray detectors. This camera will detect the X-ray aurora, which is bremsstrahlung emitted when energetic electrons are showed down in the upper atmosphere. From the X-ray measurements we will derive the spectrum and the spatial distribution of the energetic electron precipitation. We also want to compare our findings with ground based measurements e.g. from the imaging riometer which is now being established at Andøya, and from the EISCAT (European Incoherent Scatter) radars if available.
