Scientific paper

The surface properties of probes used for measurements of electron density and temperature and electric fields are discussed for typical conditions experienced in the ionosphere and the magnetosphere. Carbon materials, in particular vitreous carbon and high density fine grain carbons have been found to be the best probe materials for most applications. In order to measure electric fields in the magnetosphere probes on long booms must be used; with knowledge of the photo-emission characteristics of these probes ambient electron flux and satellite surface potential can be obtained as valuable bi-products.
