Scientific paper

Two 135 deg spherical section electrostatic analyzers furnish electron and ion measurements of the solar wind on ISEE-C. Each of these instruments utilizes a divided secondary emitter system to intercept the analyzed particles. Secondary electrons selected from all of the emitters simultaneously provide fast two-dimensional measurements of the particle fluxes integrated over polar angle; at a slower rate secondary electrons are successively selected from individual emitters to provide three-dimensional measurements. Speed of the ion measurements is increased by a factor of two by using an active proton peak tracking system to reduce the total range of energy per charge which has to be covered.
