Physics

Scientific paper

EXCEDE III was a rocket-borne, artificial aurora experiment, which was launched on 27 April 1990 from White Sands Missile Range. The payload consisted of two modules, which separated on upleg so that the sensors could observe the interaction of the electron beam with the atmosphere. We will focus on some features of the accelerator module, including the data obtained by a retarding potential analyzer (RPA) and the design and operation of the electron accelerators. The data from the RPA yields information on the vehicle potential throughout the flight. The four electron accelerators operated at 2.6 kV with a total current of 18 amperes. We will also discuss some lessons learned about the design of electron accelerators.
