This experimenter-supplied data set consists of semilog plots of superimposed detector cup collector current data vs azimuthal look-angle, on two reels of 16-mm microfilm. Each frame contains six plots, one for each of the six experiment energy intervals (between 45 and 5400 eV). Collector current data for each energy interval of a variable number of successive spectra are superimposed and plotted vs azimuthal angle in the satellite equatorial plane, with the zero angle at the meridian plane containing the satellite-sun line. For a quiet steady plasma, these data indicate the average nature of the solar wind. The time period covered by each plot, which is proportional to the number of spectra superimposed, is variable and is given on each frame. This time period has been determined by the experimenter and roughly indicates the interval over which the plasma may be considered steady state. There is about 70% coverage from November 27, 1963, to May 7, 1964, and about 60% coverage from September 17, 1964, to December 28, 1964.
