Scientific paper

The instruments on ISIS I and ISIS II are considered, taking into account the soft particle spectrometer (SPS). ISIS II observations are discussed, giving attention to general characeristics, sounder-accelerated particles (SAP) flux versus sounder frequency, SAP flux versus pitch angle, and SAP energy spectra. Aspects of dc charging of an active spacecraft are reviewed, and some of the SAP observations are related to these aspects. It is found that SAP electrons and ions have typical energy ranges up to 300-500 eV and 100-200 eV respectively. Electrons are detected in a restricted pitch angle range which depends on energy. Ions have little pitch angle dependence. A description of a model for the RF-induced spacecraft potential is provided.
