Description
Summary:The results of the reduction and analysis of data obtained from instrumentation flown on the Air Force Satellite Hitch-Hiker I (1963-25B) and the Blue Scout Vertical Probe CRL-35 are presented. The Hitch-Hiker I instrumentation included two electrostatic analyzers (one for electrons, 15 to 100 keV, the other for protons, 15 to 100 keV) and an electron scintillation spectrometer (0.5 to 4.0 MeV); the vertical probe instrumentation included a proton solid-state spectrometer. Detailed data on integral energy spectra, pitch angle distributions and perpendicular unidirectional intensities, and iso-intensity contours, as functions of B, L (or lambda, L) and time are given in four papers appended to this report. A fifth paper discusses the theory and use of electrostatic analyzers. (Author)
