Abstract:
The Plasma Diagnostics Package PDP was flown as part of OSS-1 pallet on the Space Shuttle fight STS-3 in March 1982. During this eight-day mission, the PDP was operated in its pallet position and on the Remote Manipulator System. PDP measurements included dc electric and magnetic fields, ac magnetic fields to 100 kHz ac electric fields to 800 MHz and at S-band, energetic ions and electrons from 2.5 eV to 50 KeV total electron flux the ion mass spectrum, energy distribution, and streaming direction the electron density and temperature, and the neutral pressure.
