The Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) aboard the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) satellite is a pioneering instrument that has made fundamental space plasma and wave observations. This paper reviews the RPI measurement techniques and measurement parameters. In particular, it focuses on RPI's capability in deducing the magnetic field-aligned electron density (FAED) profiles, which turn out to have significant contributions to (1) constructing magnetospheric density models, (2) understanding plasmaspheric refilling process, (3) understanding the source regions and generation mechanism of the kilometric continuum radiation, and (4) determining the location of electron scattering by whistler waves, a process responsible for the formation of the radiation-belt slot region.
