The S3-3 satellite discovered the principal auroral acceleration region at altitudes of about 1 R(E) over the auroral zone. Intense fluxes of upward flowing O(+) and H(+) ions with keV energies were commonly observed in this region of the magnetosphere. The detailed morphology of these upflowing ions is described, including their latitude, local time, altitude, and magnetic activity dependences and their relationship to the trapped keV electron population. The first measurements of the composition of the trapped keV ions in the radiation belts are also described, showing the importance of the ionospheric source term to the storm time population of ions with energies equal to or less than 16 keV/e.
