Anomalous Cosmic Rays
The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer, SAMPEX, will carry out energetic particle studies of outstanding scientific questions in the fields of space plasma physics, solar physics, magnetospheric and middle atmospheric physics, and cosmic ray physics. SAMPEX will measure the electron and ion composition of energetic particle populations from ~0.4 MeV/nucleon to hundreds of Me...
متن کاملSAMPEX Spin Stabilized Mode
The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX), the first of the Small Explorer series of spacecraft, was launched on July 3, 1992 into an 82' inclination orbit with an apogee of 670 km and a perigee of 520 km and a mission lifetime goal of 3 years. After more than 15 years of continuous operation, the reaction wheel began to fail on August 18,2007. With a set of three magn...
متن کاملPET: a proton/electron telescope for studies of magnetospheric, solar, and galactic particles
The Proton/Electron Telescope (PET) on SAMPEX is designed to provide measurements of energetic electrons and light nuclei from solar, galactic, and magnetospheric sources. PET is an all solid-state system that will measure the differential energy spectra of electrons from-1 to-30 MeV and H and He nuclei from-20 to-300 MeV/nuc, with isotope resolution of H and He extending from-20 to-80 MeVlnuc....
متن کاملCorrelation between the inner edge of outer radiation belt electrons and the innermost plasmapause location
[1] A remarkable correlation between the inner edge of the outer radiation belt electrons and the innermost plasmapause location is demonstrated by using 12 years of measurements of MeV electrons from the Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) and the Combined Radiation and Release Experiment Satellite (CRRES) during its entire mission (July 1990–October 1991). An empir...
متن کاملRelativistic electron acceleration and decay time scales in the inner and outer radiation belts: SAMPEX
Ab__•S_.•_• High-energy electrons have been measured systematically in a low-altitude (520 x 675 km), nearly polar (inclination = 82 ø) orbit by sensitive instruments onboard the Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX). Count rate channels with electron energy thresholds ranging from 0.4 MeV to 3.5 MeV in three different instruments have been used to examine relativistic...
