NSSDCA ID: 1978-079A-08
Mission Name: ISEE 3This experiment, designated DFH, was designed to study low-energy solar proton acceleration and propagation processes in interplanetary space. The instrument measured the energy spectrum in 8 channels, and the 3-dimensional angular distribution of protons in the energy range 0.035 to 1.6 MeV with a basic time resolution of 16 s. Counts of each channel were grouped into eight 45-deg sectors. The instrument consisted of three identical telescopes mounted at 30, 60, and 135 deg relative to the spacecraft spin axis, each containing two surface-barrier detectors, a mechanical collimator, and a "broom" magnet to sweep away electrons.
Mass: 4.1 kg
Power (avg): 3.5 W
