a Versatile Data Processing Unit (dpu) for Satellite-Borne Composition Instrumentation
Abstract
A data processing unit (DPU) for use with a charge-composition experiment to be flown aboard the VIKING auroral research satellite is described. The design of this DPU is such that it can be readily adapted to a variety of cosmic-ray composition experiments.
