The HARP plasma experiment on-board the Phobos 2 spacecraft: Preliminary results
(Elsevier, 1991)
The HARP differential electrostatic analyzer measured thermal and supra thermal electron and ion fluxes and distributions in the Mars environment. High bit-rate data obtained around the pericenter passage on elliptical ...
N2 vibrational distribution in aurorae
(Elsevier, 1979-06)
The N2 vibrational distribution is calculated for a specific IBC Class II aurora using as input, data obtained from coordinated rocket and satellite observations and currently accepted excitation and quenching rates. The ...
Recent advances in model calculations of the Venus ionosphere
(Elsevier, 1985)
Our understanding of the physical and chemical processes which control the behavior of the Venus ionosphere has advanced significantly during the last few years. These advances are the result of a still growing data base ...
Helium in the polar wind
(Elsevier, 1992)
The coupled, time-dependent continuity, momentum and energy equations for four charged species (H+, He+, O+ and electrons) moving through a stationary upper neutral atmosphere (composed of O2, N2, O, He, H) were solved ...
The Venus ionosphere
(Elsevier, 1985)
Physical properties of the Venus ionosphere obtained by experiments on the US Pioneer Venus and the Soviet Venera missions are presented in the form of models suitable for inclusion in the Venus International Reference ...
Recent experimental measurements of space platform charging at LEO altitudes
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
The estimation of the extent of electrical charging of space platforms at low earth orbit (LEO) altitudes has been a subject of interest for a number of years. Early estimates based on theoretical current-voltage relationships ...
