An exact theory is developed for a triple-probe in an orbit-motion-limited flowing collisionless plasma, i.e. when the charged particle mean free path > Debye length > probe radius, and the electron thermal velocity > probe speed >~ ion thermal velocity. Formulae for determining electron temperature and electron density are given for both spherical and cylindrical probes. Analytical results show that the effect of ion temperature on measurements of plasma parameters is small when the probe speed is large.
