Scientific paper

The ISEE-3 spacecraft spent most of 1983 in the geomagnetic tail, between 60 and 240 earth radii. This extended mission phase has provided an opportunity to study the effects of the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction in previously unexplored downstream regions. Analyses have been conducted concerning such fundamental questions as the nature and structure of the distant tail, the role played by the tail in magnetospheric substorms, and the possibility of processes that lead to the heating and energization of the ambient plasma. Determinations have already been made on the very high plasmasheet velocities, the two-lobe structure of the tail, and the penetration of the IMF into the tail.
