Mission Name: ESA-GEOS 2This investigation was part of the ESA S-300 wave experiment and employed four mesh spheres mounted at the end of the 2.5-m axial booms. Differential measurements from these sensors provided the three vector components of the electric field. Frequencies from 50 Hz to 77 kHz were analyzed with the sweep-frequency analyzer and the digital correlator. Frequencies up to 450 Hz were telemetered directly, and auto- and/or cross-correlation of the sensor outputs up to 77 kHz was accomplished with selectable bandwidths of 2.5, 5.0, and 10.0 kHz. The sensitivity of the mesh sphere probes at 10 kHz was 1E-6 volts per meter per square root of Hz.
