The highest time resolution digital data for the Charge-Energy-Mass (CHEM) Spectrometer instrument on the Active Magnetospheric Particle Explorers (AMPTE) mission has been restored and made available online at http://sd-www.jhuapl.edu/AMPTE. During the period 1984 to the beginning of 1989, CHEM measured the mass and charge-state compositions as well as the energy spectra and pitch-angle distributions of all major ions from H through Fe with energies from 0.3 to 300 keV/charge. The data cadence is less than one minute. With the spacecraft in a low inclination orbit passing through the magnetopause and well into the magnetosphere, many samplings of the ring-current were made. The data itself consist of so-called PHA (pulse height analysis) events, in which the energy per charge, time of flight, and total energy are measured for each particle. The original Fortran software for calculating fluxes from the PHA events has been ported from VMS to modern Unix Fortran compilers. The CHEM data will be very useful in conjunction with the upcoming Radiation Belt Storm Probe (RBSP) mission, which is part of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) initiative, and this restoration effort was funded through the LWS Targeted Research and Technology (TR&T) program.
