Scientific paper
Six months of data acquired by GEOS, launched April 25, 1977, are reviewed. GEOS operates in an eccentric 12-hr orbit with an apogee of 30,000 km and a perigee of 2050 km. Electric-field measurements, plasma measurements, electron/proton measurements, and composition measurements are described. One project is the thorough study of the afternoon and morning sectors of the magnetosphere and of the plasmapause and the plasma bulge in particular. The technical performance of the satellite has been as desired; on the other hand, the duration of the mission will be limited by radiation damage to the solar array. The temporal overlap of GEOS with ISEE-A and B will be limited to six months.
