The Energetic Ion Mass Spectrometer (EICS) on
Dynamics Explorer -1 (DE)
Dr. E.G. Shelley was the Principal Investigator for the EICS
Instrument on DE-1. It was built and operated for
the
NASA Space Physics Division from September 1981 to
February 1991 by the
Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Company Space Physics Laboratory in
Palo Alto, California.
Summary data in Common Data Format for the interval from September 1981
to February 1991 are now available on-line from the
computers at NASA/Goddard.
- Notes from users of the data set and
papers that I know have been produced using these data
- The Instrument is briefly described here.
- Mass /
Energy /
Angle resolution available in
on-line data.
- The Instrument is fully described in:
Shelley, E. G., D. A. Simpson, T. C. Sanders, E. Hertzberg, H. Balsiger, and
A. Ghielmetti, The energetic ion mass spectrometer (EICS) for the Dynamics
Explorer-A, Space Sci. Instrumentation, 5, 443, 1981.
- Important results
from analysis of DE/EICS data.
- Complete listing of publications.
- On-line data and software
- Spatial /
temporal coverage of the data sets.
Information about the Dynamics Explorer Program
and its complete set of instruments
is available on the Magnetospheric On-Line Data
pages of the Space Physics Data
Facility.
