This reduced ion flux data set consists of semilogarithmic plots of the peak collector plate current vs time and radial distance, for each energy channel and for each sector. These plots were supplied by the experimenter and microfilmed by NSSDC onto one reel of 35-mm microfilm. Individual plots cover one orbit (1.44 days), the orbit number is included on each plot, and the positions of satellite perigee are marked. Each frame contains data from four energy levels for the same sector. The data cover the time periods October 5 to December 4, 1964, and December 9 to December 23, 1964. These correspond to orbits 1 to 43 and 46 to 57, with a 90% coverage for all orbits. The local time of apogee varies from noon at the start of the data coverage to just before the dawn meridian at the end of the data coverage.
