Investigation of the solar wind using the wide-angle charged-particle energy spectrometer on Prognoz-9
Abstract
The design and operation of the Prognoz-9 D136-A wide-angle ion energy spectrometer for investigating the solar wind are described. The approach used to optimize the operating modes of the spectrometer is described, and the angle and energy characteristics of the sensor are analyzed. Some measurement results are discussed.
