Prognoz-9 instrumentation for cold-plasma studies
Abstract
The paper describes the D-211M instrumentation on the Prognoz-9 satellite for measuring the physical parameters of the ion component of the cold plasma in the 0-25-eV energy range. The approach used involves the measurement and subsequent mathematical processing of the ion-deceleration curves obtained using a retarding-potential analyzer.
