The ram wind sensor (RWS) is one of two components of the neutral wind meter instrument that is a key element in the Coupled Ion-Neutral Dynamics Investigation (CINDI). CINDI is a mission of opportunity that will fly on the Air Force's Communications/Navigation Outage Forecast System (C/NOFS) satellite, which is slated to launch in the fall of 2005. An engineering development model of the RWS instrument has been tested in a neutral beam facility at the Goddard Space Flight Center. We present the results of these tests using both argon and xenon neutral beams with velocities on the order of 3 kilometers/second. The test results illustrate the general form of the current-voltage characteristics expected from the flight instrument, and illustrate the basic validity of the measurement technique.
